Buffalo officers quit special team after 2 officers suspended for allegedly shoving 75-year-old to ground
(CNN)Fifty-seven police officers in Buffalo, New York, have resigned from the force's emergency response team following the suspension of two officers who allegedly pushed a 75-year-old protester to the ground, a source close to the situation said Friday.
An investigation is underway in a protest incident Gov. Andrew Cuomo called "wholly unjustified and utterly disgraceful." The man was seriously injured.
Video of the demonstration Thursday shows a row of officers walking toward the man and two pushing him. His head bleeds onto the sidewalk as officers walk past him, some looking down at him.
The demonstrators in Niagara Square were, like those across the country, calling for racial justice after the killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis police custody.
The 57 officers resigned from the emergency unit but not from the force. The Buffalo mayor's office told CNN that the 57 members that resigned from the unit make up the entire active emergency response team.
A few members of the unit are out currently and are not included in the 57 that resigned, according to the mayor's office.
"Fifty-seven resigned in disgust because of the treatment of two of their members, who were simply executing orders," Buffalo Police Benevolent Association president John Evans told WGRZ on Friday. WKBW also reported news of the resignations.
The man's identity, Martin Gugino, was confirmed by Cuomo's office. Gugino is hospitalized in serious but stable condition, authorities said.
An attorney representing Gugino released a statement Friday saying Gugino is "alert and oriented" and described him as a longtime peaceful protester and human rights advocate.
"Mr. Gugino requests privacy for himself and his family as he recovers," said Kelly V. Zarone. "He appreciates all of the well wishes he has received and requests that any further protests continue to be peaceful."
Megan Toufexis, Gugino's daughter, told CNN that her father attended the protest Thursday to discuss First Amendment rights with police.

很可悲的是，这次暴乱一名退休的黑人警长被抢劫者杀害，没听见黑人替他说话。一个生前吸毒犯罪进过数次监狱，因使用假钞，怀疑吸毒被举报，死后尸检查出吸毒的人，我不认为他应该那样死去，但他被当作了英雄，头像到处呈现，那位死去的警长，被他的种族忘记了。
这个种族进步太难了，一点点上进的人会被无数同族重新拖回深渊，难怪他们不愿回去。
欧文斯：我不支持弗洛伊德 他不是我的英雄
乔治·弗洛伊德的两份验尸报告都指出他在去世时吸食毒品过量，在他体内发现过量芬太尼及安非他命。我认定他就是一个罪犯，一生恶贯满盈。我们黑人最大的问题正是我们自己。我们的独特之处就在于我们是唯一只为我们社区里不做好事的人呐喊斗争争取权利的族群。

抗议执法过当是可以的，但绝不是纵火抢劫的借口。一个扭曲的社会，谁敢杀人放火谁就有道理，整个社会要低头。其实大家心底都有一本账，这种做法只会加剧更深层的歧视。很可悲的是，这次暴乱一名退休的黑人警长被抢劫者杀害，没听见黑人替他说话。一个生前吸毒犯罪进过数次监狱，因使用假钞，怀疑吸毒被举报，死后尸检查出吸毒的人，我不认为他应该那样死去，但他被当作了英雄，头像到处呈现，那位死去的警长，被他的种族忘记了。
