Anyone want to see blood pouring out of an ear?

The police in Buffalo, NY.



If you watch the police officer who pushed the elderly man over, I’m not excusing him here...
Hardly pushed him with excessive force, the guy tripped going backwards, and then the police officer went to bend down and help, but was moved on by another officer, if you watch he looks open mouthed and shocked, also his knees buckle slightly, I think there is remorse.
He is doing a job, for the machine.

He could have been dealt with better yes, but he was hardly attacked with a vicious assault, that we have seen.

My mind goes straight to Ian Tomlinson at G20 protests in 2009.

“I was just doing my job, obeying orders” is no longer a valid excuse!

Trump will obviously say “the police in Buffalo are doing a great job, as the saying goes when the old come out, we knock ‘em out”!

City of Buffalo enacting curfew
Tue, Jun 2nd 2020 11:50 am


In light of Monday’s violent protests, the City of Buffalo is enacting a curfew from 8 p.m. to 5 a.m. tonight through Monday.

Following a peaceful protest intended to raise awareness and spur change in race relations, police clashed with protestors right around 10 p.m. In one incident caught on social media, a dark SUV came into a crowd and struck a Buffalo Police Department officer and two New York state troopers, sending them to Erie County Medical Center. Two people were shot in the process. At least one was reportedly in the vehicle at the time.

Six arrests were made, and one law enforcement vehicle was damaged.

At a press conference Tuesday morning, Buffalo Mayor Byron Brown said, “Our goal, our intent, as people express their pain and frustration, is to do everything that we can to keep the people of this community safe; to keep the businesses of this community safe. That is our intent. We respect the right to peacefully protest. But for those opportunists; for those outside agitators; for people who want to loot, want to steal, want to vandalize, want to damage – there is no place for that in our community.

“I am calling on all of the good people in the City of Good Neighbors to reject that kind of behavior. We know that people are in pain. We know people are hurting. But what some of the individuals are doing by rioting, by stealing, by looting, by vandalizing, is dishonoring the memory of George Floyd; dishonoring the memory of Eric Garner; of Ahmaud Arbery; of Freddie Gray; and all of the black men and people that have been injured or killed by rogue police officers.

“And I know for many of you, this is beyond police brutality. This is about racial injustice and inequity. But we have to come together right now as a community: Let your voices be heard; let your pens write on paper; let your proposals be read; let your grievances be aired. But let's do it peacefully.”

The Tomlinson case was a terrible example of how some members of the police can become rabid animals. The guy was walking away with his hands in his pockets and savagely attacked from behind.

I don't disagree, my point is that being a police officer is a very difficult job, and the positions they are put in, would test the best of us.
Again like many critical services they are under paid, it is very easy to see a policeman push someone over and shout brutality, but that clip clearly showed a man disobaying orders to move back, he trips after being pushed (hardly a massive brutal push) and oh dear hes banged his head.
Sad as it is, and we can argue the rights and wrongs of the demos, the police being used (that they are by the powers that be) but we have to acknowledge their job, is a thankless horrible job.

Obviously the demonstrations are a result of police actions, and in no way do i condone some of the police action throughout the years.
You get good and bad in every walks of life, and racism needs to be rooted out at every level, including the police, and higher up the food chain, because they (Trump) are the instigators.

I worked for the police for a number of years and know from my own experience there are a number of policemen, thankfully small, who love the excuse to box a few ears in the name of law and order...

Savagely attacked is a little strong. He was pushed hard from the back, which made him fall over. The rest is unfortunate history!

This gentleman wasn't savagely attacked either, but clearly pushed hard enough to knock him off his feet and strike his head hard enough to cause a bleed, which the police officers saw and ignored to start with. I believe those that came to his aid were from the National Guard...

He needs to learn to fall over properly! Even Paul Alcock managed to twist his body to avoid smashing his skull open.

In all seriousness, there must be something else wrong with the bloke to go down like that. It's basic human instinct to protect the back of your head, the only time you see people fall like that is if they're knocked out.

That's nonsense. I got concussed playing football when I got knocked backwards in a tackle, I landed on the back of my head and was knocked out (this was astro on concrete). I had no time to twist my body sometimes things happen too quickly to take precautions
