1. what they are not talking about

The two police officers who committed the assault should be suspended without pay with charges pending. More than that, there is a blatant cover up of the incident, and the person / persons who approved publishing the LIE that is a cover-up should be suspended without pay with charges pending for aiding and abetting, and criminal cover up. Just another clear example of the rot within the soul of America.

I knew they had been suspended without pay before I made my post. The comment I made was an after-the-fact comment as an acknowledgement that what they did was the right thing to do. I should have been more clear. Thanks

I think they showed an incredible indifference to life.

9. I wouldn't want police to "help" at this point

they could try to eliminate witnesses and cover it up. Notice them going after the press camera immediately afterwards.

I hope the best lawyer in Buffalo helps this man sue sue sue...

5. Has anything been said about why they pushed him?

He was saying something to the police, but not being aggressive. I couldn't believe that no one stopped to help him. I would hope the one who directed the cops also loses his job. He obviously didn't want them to get involved.

I hope the old fellow lives to tell the rest of the story.

And they just push past him. They're at war with their own community.
