The Fifth Column
Retired ex-cop
I'm not convinced he is pointing it at the man with the kid on his shoulders, looks like a case of forced perspective to me, a cleverly cropped photo. Cop appears to be looking and aiming at something to mans left.

The child must only be about 4 or 5 years old. What happens if things get violent and the child gets injured.

Your right. He is definitely not pointing it at the man or child.

One ****ed up country, run by a ****ed up dicktard, and a police force that is institutional racist from top to bottom. I doubt no more than 60% of American could not even spot the USA on a globe.
And now 57 officers have quit the special response team (though not the police department itself) in support of the two officers who have been suspended.

I have spoke to several black friends here in the US in recent days, and every single one of them agreed, as a group, that their worst cop experiences are with black cops.
And many young girls are impressed by people like her.
I think these two have been garnering a lot of attention for their complete lack of awareness, too:

They pretty much do give 10 year olds guns in America, don't they?
Disgusting. Bullying of a 75 year old, left bleeding from his skull. At 0:25:
Could so easily have been fatal from a bleed on the brain.
Wonder what the tiny copper said to him as he lay unconcious?

Although, in fairness, it looked like a legitimate stop. They didn't know anything about the driver. The copper mentions something about a problem on the trace. Fun seeing her response though.

Many clips of US Cops show that they are very "beefed up" and muscular. Do wonder if possible steroid use on top of racist attitudes is a pretty toxic mix.

Body armour, an ever growing arsenal of ex-military weaponry, arrogance from numbers, egged on by a shite-stirring President who’s played the racist, faux patriotic, and law and order cards.
Well, they’ve suspended the officers who pushed the poor man over so 57 of their colleagues have resigned in protest. The power of US Police Unions to get their thugs off charges is astounding.

I could be seen that the pushes were unfortunate and the man slipped. What is unforgivable for me is that only one policeman stopped to help him and he was shooed away by others. Surely they have a duty of care for that man while carrying out their order?
I wonder what the Buffalo procedure is for cases like this being investigated. Being suspended without pay seems to be unusual but surely protocols are followed in cases like this?
I have a feeling we haven’t heard the last of this case, hopefully the bullying officer will face charges.

So you’re glad to be living within a culture of guns because minor misdemeanours are treated firmly if the officers can be bothered? Hello Moscow.
