In Buffalo, New York, a video has been circulating showing an older man walking toward the police riot line. As he approaches the line he appears to be shoved backwards. He fell and hit the ground with an audible thud and blood can be seen coming out from his ear and under his head. He was transported to the hospital where the Buffalo mayor, Byron W Brown, states that he is in “stable but serious” condition. The officers involved have been suspended without pay pending an investigation. Brown tweeted “I was deeply disturbed by the video, as was Buffalo Police Commissioner Byron Lockwood.”
