A graphic video from the scene in Buffalo, NY, shows 75-year-old activist Martin Gugino, a recovering cancer patient, being pushed to the ground by a group of officers.
There was widespread anger after initial statements from the Buffalo Police Department described the protester as having ‘tripped and fell’, with New York State governor Andrew Cuomo labelling the event ‘fundamentally inhumane.’
57 officers from the Buffalo Police Department earlier resigned from their force’s emergency response team in support of the two cops.
