Two Buffalo cops were arraigned on Saturday on one count each of assault in the second degree, after they allegedly shoved a 75-year-old demonstrator during anti-police brutality protests.
Martin Gugino, a longtime peace activist in the upstate New York city, hit his head on the pavement and was left on the ground as blood pooled around his head on Thursday evening. He remained in hospital in a serious but stable condition on Saturday.
Initially, city officials claimed Gugino had tripped and fell. However, a video surfaced showing riot police, who were clearing Niagara Square at the time, clearly pushing Gugino over and walking by his motionless body. The video had been viewed 78 million times by Saturday.

It must be the money, benefits and early retirement. But I can't see anything that would give them job satisfaction.
One day we'll have the perfect storm and an entire force will walk out.
Maybe Buffalo?

Possible Darwin Award.
Gugino resisted the clearing of the square and was pushed as a consequence.
Gugino could have simply turned and walked out of the square, but he decided to offer his body in protest.
This was not assault. It was resisting a legitimate police order.Gugino at his age should have stayed home rather than thinking he could push against riot police. He’s too old to play tackle fotball. too old to play even tag football. The man is an idiot with a martyr complex.
I sincerely hope that these police officers are found “not guilty.”
The cops did nothing wrong. The old antifa has been aggressively approached them and initiated physical contact. The cops had already formed a line and were clearing the area and the cops pushed him out of the way as they were supposed to do, and the clumsy antifa wannabe tripped over his own feet. The irony is that he was holding a riot helmet when he fell.
He’s a well-known leftist agitator, and was there to confront police and cause trouble. He got what he was looking for.
I’ve read elsewhere we are 57 members of Buffalo!s emergency response team resigned in protest. Still on the force but no longer a part of that volunteer team.
What next? I can see a lot of blue flu sick days ahead. Our society seems to be pushing harder and harder for anarchy.
When you work for a-holes like these, early retirement at age 55 is a blessing, and an escape back to the real world. Suicide, divorce, and alcoholism are high in all law enforcement agencies. I was told that the first day I went to work for NY State Corrections. I was already divorced with two sons to raise, and have never remarried, wasn't a drinker, and I wasn't about to kill myself. If I did that, I'd be doing the State a favor. I've been retired since 2003, and consider myself one of the lucky ones that lived to retire. Many of my co-workers died younger than me, and by the time I retired in 2003, at least three officers had killed themselves.
That PUNK OLD MAN was in the WRONG! DUMBASS LEFTY!
Watch the video closely. The officer’s shove was just enough to move the guy back off of him. The guy then does a cartoonish flailing move backwards and falls. IOW he took a dive.
There is a video of him saying he was there to stir up sh*t (while holding a riot helmet)and the protestors there called him out on it.
Check out his twitter page “Fu*k the police typed too many times to count.
What is that flag she is prancing around with? Several different
photos on the net of her and a non USA flag.
blue lives matter flag
Got to be her last name. This has not been a good year for ‘corona’.
The 77 year old is a lifetime leftist protester. He probably knows Bill Ayers.
Thanks.... First time I’ve ever seen one. Guess I
need to get of the sticks and into civilization more.
Bump
He approached the officers and iniated the confrontation Don’t push someone, if you can’t take getting shoved in return
There have been suggestions that it was fake, but I don’t think so...he wasn’t shoved, but he probably just lost his balance when the officer pushed his hand away. However, you can see in some photos that he had a tube running up his back under his shirt and coming out the side of his face mask into his ear.
I think it was some sort of communication device, either enabling him to record or broadcast his encounters (he kept tapping the police with his cell phone). So he wasn’t working alone.

That’s exactly right.
The charged police are the victims.
The old man is a Lefty. And to say the least, is not a nice guy. But the Officer allowed himself to be set up. Now he will pay the price. This old man has probably done this many times in his life.
a more accurate description would be the thin blue line flag
