I give you just one of the more glaring examples of this lunacy, the case of Martin Gugino and his treatment at the hands of the Buffalo Police Department.
As has been the case in many cities, Buffalos mostly peaceful protests have been punctuated by violence. On June 1 in that city, two people were shot, stores were looted, and three officers were injured, one of them seriously, when a woman drove a car through a police line. The next day, in response to those incidents, Erie County executive Mark Poloncarz imposed a curfew, effective from 8 p.m. to 5 a.m.
On June 4, protesters were gathered in Niagara Square, a public plaza at the center of Buffalos government district. When they lingered beyond 8 p.m., Deputy Chief Police Commissioner Joseph Gramaglia ordered police to enforce the curfew and clear the area. Officers from the Buffalo Police Department and the New York State Police assembled in a skirmish line and began walking north in front of City Hall.
In a now widely seen video, shot by WFBO radio reporter Mike Desmond, Gugino can be seen walking directly toward the officers and stopping in the path of one of them. Note that Gugino is carrying (alas for him, not wearing) a helmet, suggesting he was a veteran protester and prepared for a confrontation.
Upon further scrutiny, Guginos behavior is even more curious. Note the odd way Gugino holds and manipulates his cellphone as he approaches and makes contact with the officers, pressing it against one and then another.

Nah - NBA are pikers - soccer players have developed it as an ART FORM.
Buffalo Mayor Byron Brown addressed Thursday’s incident in a press conference on Friday afternoon, saying that Gugino was an agitator who was trying to rile up the crowd and was asked to leave the area “numerous” times. “What we were informed of is that that individual was an agitator...
That shove wouldn’t have toppled a toddler much less thrown a man over 6 feet tall that far back who was leaning forward.
Yea, his own camera man, who unfortunately is my neighbor.
A reporter just happened to be in the perfect spot to see his performance. There was “blood” coming out of his ear and on the ground less than 3 seconds after hitting the ground. Complete setup! The President is right.
Expose these fakes whenever you can.
I don’t know about the phone stuff, but Gugino was very reckless.
Old men fall over very easily. The skin on their scalp is very thin. When cut, it bleeds profusely.
The cop- shove was minimal. The cops looked very surprised that it was enough force to knock him over.
Moral of this story: Old hippies should stay home, and watch the show on CNN.
Danny gets my nomination for best supporting actor from Boston. His best role was beleaguered basketball player.
Truth hurts Demoncrats, thats why they simply dont report the truth
Some people thought it might be a tube for fake blood, but the tube was clear and in any case theres no way he could have known that he was going to get pushed. So Id say it was part of whatever he was doing with his phone.
That idiot Ainge left his man (Paxton) to double Jordan and lost the championship.
Maybe you can be a witness to that man’s character/behavior?
