A massive relief, watching the video I was legitimately thinking that I had just seen someone die.
Absolutely abhorrent, what the fuck's up with police getting rough on old people. Like come the fuck on, how the fuck do you have that little restraint.
For those who aren't Buffalo natives, Poloncarz is the county executive. I'm a little miffed he went "appears" to have been shoved by police, but him saying it sickened me kinda counteracts that.
OofCops are used to the "tripped and fell" line because it's what they tell their wives to say too.

I'm so sorry for your loss. Take a walk and clear your head.My dad died from the same kind of injury, blood pouring out of his ears and everything... I think I'm having like, PTSD from that video. I just can't. I don't even know. I'm so fucking hot in the face with rage and I feel like I'm going to throw up. Bastards.

I've seen videos of the incident in front of Buffalo's City Hall in which an older protester appears to have been shoved by police, fell backwards and suffered a serious head injury. It sickens me. I've confirmed he is at ECMC in stable condition. My thoughts are with him now.
