GEORGE FLOYD PROTEST: Buffalo Police Shove 75-Year-Old to the Ground

Two police officers in Buffalo, New York have been suspended after a video shows a 75-year-old man being shoved to the ground during a protest for George Floyd on Thursday.

TeeRoy's 2 Cents:

  • The video is very disturbing.
  • These officers need more training. There would have been nothing wrong with them rushing to the man's aid. 
  • They should have recognized that he was an old man and not been so rough.

Two police officers in Buffalo, New York have been suspended after a video shows a 75-year-old man being shoved to the ground during a protest for George Floyd on Thursday.

The horrifying video shows the man walking up to officers in riot gear who were trying to enforce the city's curfew. One of the cops then shoves the man, sending him falling to the ground and hitting his head on the sidewalk. Officers continued walking as the man remained on the ground bleeding from his head and ears. At one point, an officer bent down to check on him, but other officers pulled him away and continued walking.

An ambulance eventually arrive at the scene and rushed the man to the hospital where he is listed in serious but stable condition. Buffalo's police commissioner suspended two officers without pay and said, "I was deeply disturbed by the video." (NBC News)
