Two police officers in Buffalo, New York, have been suspended without pay after they were caught on camera shoving a 75-year-old protester, causing him to fall and knock his head to the ground. Gov. Andrew Cuomo said Friday the local district attorney should investigate the case for potential criminal charges. Barring that, the governor thinks the officers should be fired. Cuomo said he had spoken with the injured protester and said the graphic video of the encounter made him “sick to my stomach.” “It’s just fundamentally offensive and frightening,” Cuomo said. “Who are we? How did we get to this place.” The confrontation occurred shortly after the city’s 8 p.m. curfew on Thursday, NBC affiliate WGRZ reported. Journalists from Spectrum News Buffalo and WBFO were reporting in Niagara Square as they witnessed officers lining up to push back protesters who were out calling for police accountability and racial justice following the death of George Floyd. One of their videos shows the elderly man calmly approaching the officers, appearing to ask them a question, but the officers pushed the man back.

06.06.2020 | 1:30 PM | BEN LOMOND – One deputy was killed and two others were wounded when a suspect later identified as an active-duty Air Force sergeant ambushed them, Saturday evening. Deputies responded to a call reporting a suspicious vehicle with weapons and bomb-making materials inside near Highway 9 in Ben Lomond around 1:30 PM. Deputies arriving in the area observed a van matching the suspect vehicle description and followed it to a home where they were ambushed by gunfire and explosives. One deputy, later identified as 38-year-old Damon Gutzwiller, a Santa Cruz Sheriff’s Department sergeant, was injured and transported to a hospital where he succumbed to his injuried. Another deputy was struck by shrapnel or gunfire and a California Highway Patrol officer was shot in his hand during the incident. The suspected shooter, 32-year-old Steven Carrillo, was struck by police gunfire and tried carjacking a vehicle before being taken into custody. Carrillo, an active duty Air Force sergeant assigned to the 60th Security Forces Squadron based out of Travis Air Force Base, was charged with first-degree murder among other charges while the Federal Bureau of Investigation also joined the investigation. The FBI is looking into whether Carrillo was involved with a shooting in Oakland on May 29th, 2020 around 9:45 PM that left 53-year-old Dave Patrick Underwood, a Federal Protective Service security officer, dead and another injured outside the Ronald V. Dellums Federal Building in Oakland. A recent press release regarding the Oakland shooting included a photo of

Prosecutors were investigating Friday after a video captured police in Buffalo shoving a 75-year-old man who then fell and cracked his head, a confrontation that resulted in the suspension of two officers. Video of Thursday night’s encounter, which happened near the conclusion of protests over the death of George Floyd in Minnesota, quickly sparked outrage. It shows a man identified as Martin Gugino approaching a line of helmeted officers holding batons as they clear demonstrators from Niagara Square around the time of an 8 p.m. curfew. Two officers push Gugino backward, and he hits his head on the pavement. Blood spills as officers walk past. One officer leans down to check on the injured man before he is urged along by another officer. Gugino and the officers all appear to be white, but details of their backgrounds were not released. “Why? Why was that necessary? Where was the threat?” asked Gov. Andrew Cuomo at his daily briefing Friday. The governor said he spoke to Gugino, who had been hospitalized in serious condition. “It’s just fundamentally offensive and frightening. How did we get to this place?” Erie County Executive Mark Poloncarz spoke to reporters on Friday and said the officers must be held responsible for their actions following an investigation by the District Attorney. “Police and other law enforcement have a duty to serve and protect the public. We need them to be the guardians of the public, not warriors engaged in battle with the public,” Poloncarz said. The video immediately

Prosecutors are investigating the actions of two Buffalo police officers who were suspended without pay on Thursday night after a video showed them shoving a 75-year-old protester, who was hospitalized with a head injury. The video taken by WBFO, a local radio station, shows the man, identified on Friday as Martin Gugino, approaching a group of officers during a protest stemming from the death of George Floyd. He was identified by the Western New York Peace Center, a nonprofit that named him in a Facebook post, saying he is a peace activist and a member. After the video shows Mr. Gugino stopping in front of the officers to talk, an officer yells “push him back” three times; one officer pushes his arm into Mr. Gugino’s chest, while another extends his baton toward him with both hands. Mr. Gugino flails backward, landing just out of range of the camera, with blood immediately leaking from his right ear. An officer leans down to examine him, the video shows, but another officer then pulls the first officer away. Several other officers are seen walking by the man, motionless on the ground, without checking on him. On Friday, the Erie County District Attorney’s Office said in a statement that prosecutors were investigating the incident. It said Mr. Gugino was unable to provide a statement to investigators on Thursday night at the Erie County Medical Center, where he was taken for treatment for the head injury.

Matt Hancock chairs today’s Downing Street press conference after being warned by the country’s statistics watchdog that the Government’s testing figures for coronavirus are “still far from complete and comprehensible”. David Norgrove, chairman of the UK Statistics Authority, said the way the Government presented the figures appeared to be aimed at showing “the largest possible number of tests, even at the expense of understanding”. Elsewhere, Housing Minister Simon Clarke has said that it is going to be “very, very difficult” for people to take summer holidays this year, despite confirming that air bridges are still part of a “live” debate. He told BBC Breakfast that the two-week quarantine, which comes in from June 8, was “absolutely vital” and would last “for as long as is needed”. That has gone down badly with the bosses of Britain’s biggest travel and hospitality businesses, who have warned they will have to lay off up to 60 per cent of their staff if the quarantine goes ahead.
