Andrew Cuomo played this at his conference. I really wish that, right after he finished, some old guy in teh front row (I would volunteer) would have jumped up, ran up to him on stage, and pulled out his phone to touch him with it.
My guess is he would have pushed the person back, if his security detail didn’t jump in first.
Then I’d ask him: “Should your security detail be fired, they just pushed and attacked an old protester with a phone”
white cop shoves white man....no problem...reported as cop shoves man
black cop shoves white man...no problem...reported as cop shoves man
black cop shoves black man...no problem...reported as cop shoves man
white cop shoves black man.....reported as BLACK LIVES MATTER....RACIST WHITE COP SHOVES ELDERLY BLACK MAN
BTW, another case where black people are fighting about legitimate mistreatment by cops, and white people want to make it all about them.
White people are more outraged by this guy getting attacked, then they are about Dorn being shot dead.
If you walk up to a crowd-control officer and start reaching towards his gun belt, unfortunate things will happen.
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
At age 75 he should have known better than to walk up to riot police - confrontational or not.
When he got too close they pushed him away.
He then fell, tripped or not- he shouldn’t have approached them. How do they know he’s not carrying a weapon or bomb?
They would have searched him at an airport
He is directly blocking their advance. He comes up to them. He stretches his hands to touch two officers.
So I watched the video several times. The guy touched the officers with his phone. The officer gave the guy a light push away and he fell. I think they should have arrested the guy when he touched the officers. You don’t touch a police officer. Not a good idea.
I am surprised folks don’t see where this is going.
Think robocop.
It can’t be accused of racism, and will hate all humans equally.
Folks will figure this out, and the human cop will become as quaint as horse-back policing.
If the police are advancing a line, get the hell out of the way. If you’re 75, REALLY get out of the way, preferably by staying home.
I didn’t think the police office was that rough - he didn’t exactly bulldoze the guy - he shoved him. The guy fell like a European soccer player. Hope he’s ok, and maybe had some sense knocked into him.
I watched the video several times. The 75-year-old man at one point reached and touched the police officers‘s gun or gun belt. The officer looked surprised, and as a reaction shoved the man back. The man kind of tripped over his own feet. I put this 90% on the 75-year-old man and 10% on the police officer. Obviously, the officer didn’t intend to hurt this guy. He certainly doesn’t deserve to be fired.
By all means take their resignations. Oh wait it was a white guy.
If they dont stop this systemic racism whites are gonna have a real protest. Not this riot crap either. And a lot less peaceful.
I am sick of all these spitwads trying to start a civil war. But it’s getting close.
That 75 year-old man fell down on purpose. He looks to be pretty healthy and in shape. No way did he fall from such a slight nudge. Look at how he bends his one knee to cushion his “fall” and then immediately brings his feet together, crosses them after he “falls”. No flailing arms; nothing.
He was under no distress after he falls. Didn’t even try to hold his head after he “fell”.
He wasn’t injured other than he didn’t remember to tuck his head
Who’s going to stop the criminals in Buffalo now? lol
So they quit the SWAT team, but are still with the force.
Yawn.....
Well we just got the weekend weather report.
Riots predicted, starting Friday evening and extending through the weekend. Police advise people to stay off the streets.
Absolutely pathetic BS. He marched up to the cops and GRABBED them. What exactly do you think will happen if you do that? As they say, "Play stupid games..."
Give them what they want, resign. Let the place go to hell
Leave those cities and either move to a small town or to a red state. Let them find out what it’s like without cops
Good, they can all go to hell. The guy probably suffered brain damage. If so, his family could own Buffalo.
This is why an increasing number of people don’t like police.
