My guess would have been more "we think it's impossible to do crowd control without knocking people over (even inadvertently) and we don't want to be punished when that happens."
That's not necessarily any better than the other options.
They, these are the ones with ideals! They're just so fucking blind or stupid or both that they can't see how wrong they are- much like the cops who sprung dogs on black people a few decades ago.
Fuck these fucking pigs to hell and back, hope they rot in pieces.
Imagine seeing a couple of cunts get reprimanded after nearly killing someone and thinking "hang on, why are they being reprimanded?" Literally fire the lot of them (like that would happen!). Not a moral bone in their collective masses.
Yep. It's a terroristic threat from a state sanctioned terrorist organization.
The protests need to continue until every police union in the country is shut down... or burned down.
And if neither happens, then the protests must not stop. Period.
Oh no, two of your boys didn't completely get away with assaulting and nearly murdering an old man? You psychopathic fucks.
I'm pro-union, but police unions sure as shit ain't labor unions. They need to be busted up. They're essentially protection rackets that hold city municipalities at large.
If they were just following orders, I think it would be prudent to specify what exactly those orders were.
I was arguing with some bootlicker about this and their response was, and I quote, "I don't think it's wise for elderly/kids to be at protest locations considering violence occurred across the country where protesting is held. They're not as agile."
I was like, if your retort to watching that is "the elderly and kids should not be at a protest because they might get beat by police" you need to do some serious soul-searching.

Wasn't some soldier of the National Guard the first one to actually look after the old men?
The police just walked past him.
Because it threatens their position and power within the structure built to keep them at the top and the people, particular people of color, at the bottom to feed the prison industrial complex.
So those two cops nearly killed Martin Gugino but they're the ones being treated poorly? Get the fuck outta here.
Clearing the square does not mean they have to shove a frail old man.
Bunch of bullshit.
This shit right here. I want a job where I can "resign" from the parts I don't like.
If i shoved someone with so much force that they were moved backwards 5+ feet, and fell (slipped) down, and busted their head open, I would be completely liable financially and legally for that, as a civilian.
Why is it any different for police who very clearly shoved this elderly guy with enough force that he fell to the ground.

Yikes. Remind me to never visit Buffalo. They almost killed someone's grandfather. The officers got mild punishment lets be honest so this happens?
