In reply to the discussion: 57 members of Buffalo Police riot response team resign [View all]Jarqui
(10,130 posts)69. "He did slip in my estimation. He fell backwards."
Another cop lying as if we can't see the video with our own eyes.
Like the Covid doctors in Russia who slipped out windows and fell to their death after trying to raise the alarm?
Anyone who has received any guidance from medical/nursing home people (or anyone with common sense) knows that the elderly are fragile. CDC "Falls are the leading cause of injury-related death among adults age 65 and older."

The people of Buffalo will be better off in the long run.

Mr. Evans has incredibly poor estimation - if you or I did that it would be ASSAULT.
