BUFFALO, NY – The entire Buffalo Police Department Emergency Response Team has resigned from the team, according to a report by News 4.
It’s a total of 57 police officers.
The move comes as a show of support for the officers who were just suspended without pay after allegedly “shoving” 75-year-old Martin Gugino
All of the officers are still employed, but are no longer going to serve on the Emergency Response Team.
This all comes after two Buffalo officers were suspended after a protestor tried to block them from clearing the viewing area in front of City Hall.
It happened during a curfew crackdown on Thursday, just after 8 p.m.
That’s when the city’s curfew went into effect over the violent protests surrounding the death of 46-year-old George Floyd, according to WBFO.
Police said that as they were working to clear Niagara Square directly in front of City Hall, 75-year-old Martin Gugino walked up to them and stood in front of the officers.
The video, which has since gone viral, shows Gugino walk directly into the crowd of approaching police and walk in front of them – stopping one, then repeatedly sticking out his right hand in front of another officer.
In the video, you can see as that officer reaches out and shoves Gugino with his hand while the first officer appeared to give him a push with baton.
Then Gugino stumbled backward, lost his balance and fell straight back onto the pavement and hitting his head.
It seemed it lost consciousness and a pool of blood formed around his head.
The elderly man appeared unconscious as a pool of blood formed around his head.
The first officer goes to bend down and check on the man.
At that point, the officer behind him yanked him back up by the vest and pushed him past.
In the video, it seems that the officers are ignoring the man – but there seemed to be a medic behind the police line.
That person was able to take care of the man once the line moved forward.
“No, I’m serious, he’s bleeding out of his ear,” somebody said on the video.
A nearby television crew told police “you better get an ambulance for him.”
They did, and according to WBFO, he was rushed to Erie County Medical Center for treatment, where he’s reportedly in serious condition with a concussion and lacerations
According to Newsweek, four others were arrested as officers cleared the area.
The department released a statement Thursday night letting the press know “a 5th person was arrested during a skirmish with other protestors and also charged with disorderly conduct. During that skirmish involving protestors, one person was injured when he tripped & fell,” according to WBFO.
Outraged viewers lead to the Buffalo Police Department releasing another statement.
In it, they said things are being by internal affairs and that Police Commissioner Byron Lockwood had suspended the two officers involved without pay.
Then came the Mayor’s office.
“Tonight, after a physical altercation between two separate groups of protesters participating in an illegal demonstration beyond the curfew, two Buffalo Police officers knocked down a 75-year-old man,” Buffalo Mayor Byron Brown said.
