I agree with Ben Shapiro that the upping of charges from 3rd to 2nd degree murder might ultimately be what gets the officer off the hook. Overcharging feels good and righteous but can be a loser for the prosecution a lot of the time.

I would guess they have a 90% chance of conviction for 3rd degree but drops to more like 50/50 for 2nd degree

I suppose you are really going to feel butt hurt when that cop gets off because they up'ed they charges.

He’s still charged with 3rd degree. He’s charged with both. The 2nd degree charge is probably to get him to plea.

I loved jury duty but I don't think I would care to be on that one.

Entire Buffalo Emergency Response Team resigns in solidarity with cops who pushed old man
The entire Buffalo police Emergency Response Team has resigned following the suspension of two officers who were caught
on video shoving Martin Gugino, a 75-year-old protester to the pavement, according to reports Friday. Gugino, an activist who is well known in Buffalo, was listed in serious but stable condition. The shocking video shows blood gushing from his head after he fell.
A total of 57 officers resigned from the emergency team in solidarity with the two suspended cops, who pushed Martin Gugino, causing him to stumble backward and crack his head on the ground, WGRZ reported.
“Fifty-seven resigned in disgust because of the treatment of two of their members, who were simply executing orders,” said John Evans, president of the Buffalo Police Benevolent Association.
The special squad was created in 2016 and is deployed for mass protests or riots, the network reported.

The old white guy was trying to provoke the cops but they should have kept their cool. They were wrong to shove him but he was hardly an innocent bystander.

How were they suppose to know the old codger was so drunk he could not maintain his balance.
I would never put myself in that position as I also have equilibrium problems.

Lol. Ya I’m sure they were terrified of the old man. That makes giving him a traumatic brain injury justified. Good thing they ignored him as his head bled on the pavement. Jack booted thugs.

EMT's were right behind the cops and helping in seconds. As they are supposed to do.

Oh no they quit their extracurricular "special" club. Guaranteed it was to save face before it's dissolution. It's not like they quit the force...
