The responding officers and medics were confused as to why the unconscious man found on the streetside had police handcuffs around his wrists...When a friend of Sagers tried to tend to him, he was charged with trespassing for refusing to leave.

This is really a bad case. This person’s life is now in ruins. I still don’t see how they can justify treating him like that.
To: bamahead
To their credit the Buffalo PD seems to be doing a real investigation instead of closing ranks around those two thugs.

Just another life ruined by “Murder Inc.”

Would they have done that investigation without the video? Will whoever threw that video in the trash be charged?

Who knows? Even without the video the guy's injuries are so severe this one would be hard to sweep under the rug.
I suspect the bar owner tossed it and I bet he will be charged, too. They won't let their own go down alone.

Give the Thin Blue Lie a chance. They’ll wait till things cool down and then promote the goons.

Did Sager initiate some kind of brawl? Granted if police were there, they should have tried to calm down the brawl.

From what I gathered there was some type of altercation between Sager's party and the manager of this joint prior to what went down.
Not sure of the degree of that altercation, but it looks like the off-duty cops may have acted on the managers behalf and beat Sager, and then potentially conspired with him to destroy the evidence (surveillance tape in the trash).

They’ll investigate it like Eric Holder is investigating the IRS, Benghazi, Fast & Furious, black panther voter intimidation etc.

It is cases like this that makes me scream> Bring Back Public Hangings, Every person involved deserves to swing from a rope.

In a just word, any time an LEO was involved in a deadly force incident they would undergo drug/alcohol/steroid testing.
This is little different than the standards a locomotive engineer or bus driver would be held to, or are police more equal than that?

Don’t count on them to truly be as critical as they need to be. Never underestimate Team Blue’s willingness to protect their own.

The Buffalo police may be doing a great investigation, but they still were aware of the culture of cruelty with some of the officers. No one spoke up earlier.
