Two Buffalo police officers were justified in pushing a 75-year-old activist who suffered a skull fracture, an arbitrator ruled nearly two years after the incident.

Officers Robert McCabe and Aaron Torgalsk had no other course of action than to push away an approaching Martin Gugino, 75, when he was objecting to a protest curfew.

Gugino had been protesting police June 4, 2020, just days after the death of George Floyd.

I’m sure he’d speak to you if the local Druggies decided to bust into his house on the unfortunate misinformation that he has a safe full of money and drugs.

That’s right. That’s the one I was thinking of but wasn’t from behind. He was scanning them. And got shoved him to me it looked like he flopped.

Was that the old man they shoved from behind?

No, he was facing the Cops, he was rotating from one to the other to scan both of their chest microphones, then he went over backwards.

This guy wasn't very bright. At 75, he is in age bracket that recovering from serious injuries can be problematic and potentially life altering...

I remembered “Person of Interest” and the scanner….

Yes, that is the technique, a specially prepared Smartphone Clones the scanned Radio Device when passed near it, downloads all the data on the Device and gains entry to the entire Radio System that the Device is connected to, and can then mimic that scanned device.

The Technology and Devices exist, while the TV program POI is Fiction.

I went to the replay monitor at the scorers’s table. If the old guy was playing college basketball he would have been hit with a technical foul for “flopping.”

BLM intended to use police encrypted emergency communications to outflank cops, then get away, after striking innocents with violence, by knowing the locations and dispatching, of Riot Control Cops.

Ditto. Same deal with with Chinese videos of people face planting in the streets during the beginning of the pandemic.

Old idiot got what he deserved. Should have never taken so long to decide police were justified.

And the down side is? :)

Amen, when I turned 50, I told my family and friends that “I refuse to talk to or listen to any liberals bad mouthing my country, church, family/friends!”

At first my wife, rector and some moderate church members didn’t believe me until they saw me shun someone or tell them, “I’m not interested in your B$. Just leave me alone.”

By the time I was 60, most friends, family members and the above not only agreed with me. They were developing the same exclusionary rules I had.

Now, I’m 83 and my same rules apply with zero tolerance to liberals. They can stand on a street corner and yell and scream, send hate stuff on the internet and the local news swipes. That is their right as Americans (key words):. “As Americans!”

As an American, I don’t have to listen to them nor respect them. I can ignore them.
