...Explaining why he had yet to fire the officers seen pushing Martin Gugino, 75, to the ground, where he hit his head and bled onto the pavement, Mayor Byron Brown said, I dont want to jump ahead of the investigation. It is very important for officers to know they are getting due process, according to WBEN Radio.
Brown referenced violence, vandalism, looting and fires being set during protests in the city, then described Gugino as a key and major instigator of people engaging in those activities in remarks he made Friday.
He was in the area after the curfew. One of the things that happened before was conflict among protesters and there was a danger of fights breaking out, and police felt it was important to clear that scene for the safety of protesters, said Brown...

I find it really fascinating how so many people on this topic have jump to conclusions about the so-called tube. Last I checked there’s a lot of homemade masks out there made with everything available. Like stretchy rubber tubes.
Wrong, I’ve watched it multiple times, there was no shove, he barely pushed the man, in fact, you can see the instantaneous look of incredulity on the officers face as he watches the man go down. Why you and a few other FReepers feel the need to lie about this event, when theres clear video of what happened, I’m not sure, but lie away if it makes you feel better.
There was an officer in camo that knelt by the guy within 11-12 SECONDS of him hitting the ground. Another guy in camo knelt down within a few more seconds.
The cops had an offensive line to maintain. Another protestor actually came barreling thru within a few more seconds that those cops responded to.
“No the front line leaves him for the arrest and support teams that are coming up to take care of.”
EXACTLY! Thank you! Medics were there in 11-12 seconds.
No way his ear bled out that quickly.
I almost dealt with the exact situation many years ago when an elderly man fell off his bike and hit his head on the sidewalk right in front of me.
He bled out from his ear but it took a few minutes to start even dripping.
Looks like a shove to me.
Suggest a trip to the optometrist.
Another life long agitator like nathan phillips?
Unnecessary. The video speaks for iteself.
Yes, yes it most certainly does, now review once you get back from the doctors, there was no shove in that video. In fact, by a large majority, most FReepers saw a light push with one hand. Good luck at the Docs.
I'll be sure to avoid your's. It doesn't seem to be doing your vision any good.
Distance uncorrected 20/20, do need reading glasses though, by the way
How many fingers am I holding up?

Thought so, good luck at the OP.
is that what he had in his hand and kept poking at both officers? and why he held it up as the officers walked by?
another thing that was weird was, he stumbled backward, but ended up on the ground with his legs crossed at the ankles. That doesn’t make sense either
