I saw the video isnt a good look for the cop and he lied about what happened.
Nice! Way to stay strong. We have to reject the idea that cops have to act perfect in the face of deviancy. I don’t mean ignoring criminal behavior, but little shit like this in the face of what is going on should not lead to suspensions. Otherwise our only choice is to do nothing at all.

I doubt this is going to make any difference in this current climate.
Police Union will need to flex a little and show some strength.

Torn on this video but actually not Terribly sympathetic. Guy was in cops face trying to block his movement. Can cop be responsible for the fact the guy was feeble and should not have put himself in danger? Would police have shoved me? Yes.
So there's rumors of thousands of protesters about to descend on buffalo and the emergency team resigned from those roles.

Aggressive policing caused all this rioting and burning if cities deaths on both sides. They wont learn their lesson . Police are going to cause a war in the streets of America .
I disagree with the mainstream view on this incident. Typical, the press and libs scream about a cop pushing a 75 year old man back. He fell backwards, and hit his head, but really, whose fault is that?
1. He is a lib activist, who was staying in the downtown Niagara Square AFTER curfew. So he is in the wrong.
2. He walked up on the cops as they were executing a line movement to sweep people from the square. So, now, - are cops going to be required to "halt" their movements anytime someone comes up to them in the performance of their duties at that moment? Are cops going to now have to halt and assess the situation before taking ANY action? Are cops now going to have to stop and ask the person in front of them for permission to advance?
This is complete and utterly insane bullshit!
If I were a cop, I, and I would hope all of my fellow officers would call in sick at 5PM on Friday, and let the liberal assholes in charge deal with the shitstorm that follows.

Very bad optics but once you think about it I tend to agree with blimey and Vietnam vet. Particularly if he is a liberal activist. The left loves symbolic victims to give their cause more sympathy than it deserves. If they stopped for this guy tomorrow there would be a line of geriatric losers challenging the police. I'm certain the cop did not intend to have him fall backwards. Do police orders to clear the area not apply to the old and frail?

Don't even think about getting a fair trial in NY. Andy will just send you to the gallows.

I see nothing wrong with what the cops did.
I'm not the smartest guy around, but I know better than to try and reason with a few dozen cops in riot gear getting ready to face off with a mob.

That wasn’t aggressive policing.

half to agree it was not aggressive he asked for it getting into the officers face he should feel lucky he didn't get slammed to the ground he sure as hell is old enough to know not to pull shit like this but then again hes a lib they are not to smart to begin with
I think the situation could have been handled better. The guy definitely should not have been there, but he was not a threat and could have been "assisted" by someone off the property. Preferably in cuffs.
Can't blame the ert, and good on them. I see a real shitstorm brewing.

True, but why not just flexcuff him and be done with it? Control the situation given all the nuts crap going on.

"little shit" He may be permanently disabled or may still possibly die. One of the biggest issues with police is "professional courtesy" and they use it for their own means whether right or wrong. NO reason to shove an old man, no matter what color.
Its amazing that camera was in a perfect position to capture that encounter.
It's a trap.

I’m not gonna comment on who I think was wrong or right. What I can say though is that in the current climate the cops involved will never get a fair shake. I think this situation is a complete loss for both parties.
They probably were trying to avoid making arrests, by order.
Cops right now are getting conflicting orders left and right from every angle. I’ve take the “don’t do anything” approach, but many still feel that they should work for their pay.
Oh well.
Like I said earlier, society needs to wake the fuck up and stop accepting retarded behavior AND then only holding cops accountable for the results. Sorry, but here’s the reality: there are things in life you just can’t do. Pops apparently didn’t learn that lesson over his previous 75 years.

Yes I now see that 75 year old man was on the FBI most wanted list and got what He deserved. If anyone out there cannot understand respect and restraint for old..elderly people ..then You have no conscience or soul. I was brought up to respect My elders.(and it was hard at times but I did) .not knock them down. This is the "new generation" and I don't envy it at all.

Both were wrong.
The old guy was a douchebag, and the cop in the very least was making his employer look very bad for no good reason.
