What the the Buffalo DA, John Flynn, who brought chargers against two officers who pushed a 75-year-old protester had to say today:
"I can't turn a blind eye" and "I'm not apologizing for it.”
"I can't turn a blind eye" and "I'm not apologizing for it.”
Flynn was asked what police officers should have done if the man was not listening to officers, to which he responded, "what you do is that you grab him" and "turn him around" and arrest him if he's doing something illegal.
"You don't take a baton and shove, along with the officer next to him," and knock him down and crack his head," Flynn said.
Flynn was asked what said he highly doubts "shoving a 75-year-old man" is part of any training. But "if what you've been trained to do is unlawful, that's not an excuse" and police should "reevaluate their training."
