Our Police State
Buffalo police officers plead not guilty to assaulting 75-year-old man at demonstration
https://www.cnn.com/2020/06/06/us/bu...man/index.html Multiple videos clearly show that they assaulted the man, yet they are protected by FAR too many rules. This needs to change. Cops in this country need to be held accountable for their actions, just as you and I are (unless we're wealthy and white). |

Mr. Gugino, 75, could easily be my 89 year old friend who fought in Korea as a navigator in a B-24, Bronze Star. A frail elder who is flat out disgusted with the traitorous antics of 'Deadbeat' Donnie and his gang of criminals and isn't shy about telling anyone about it. He would be a blast to hit the streets with if it weren't for this pandemic that the coward in chief screwed the pooch on. I miss shooting the breeze with my old friend. He's just been diagnosed with liver cancer and it's spread to his pancreas. He's very hard of hearing so standing at a safe distance and trying to converse doesn't work. I wonder if we will ever get together again for a meal and a beer. I sure hope so. At this point in time anyone who still supports T'Rumpf must have rocks in their head or worse. It's going to be a pleasure voting these scumbags out of office this November. I just hope that my friend is still above ground to cast his vote. I think I'll get him one of those Cup o' Joe coffee mugs. He'd like that. |

Been reading and hearing statements locally in the vain of, "if you are doing nothing wrong or illegal, have nothing to fear from the police!"
What country are they from? There is a fine edge the officers are on everyday. They see a side of society most only experience from afar. This must effect a seeing life in general. Harden the approach taken when confronting the unknown. No one wants any officer to be hurt in the line of duty. So what is the answers? Better training for one and all. Body cams. Independent citizen oversight and controls. Neighborhood outreach programs. Education and funding for non lethal forms of policing. Being smarter not harder. |

The kicker about the Buffalo cops that pushed the 75 year old that resulted in his fall to the ground is that he was trying to return a helmet to the riot gear garbed police. |
If you’re surprised by how the police are acting, you don’t understand US history
