Entire BPD Emergency Response Team resigns in support of suspended officers
News 4 has learned the entire Buffalo Police Department Emergency Response Team has resigned from the team.
That’s a total of 57 officers.
We’re told this is a show of support for the officers who are suspended without pay after shoving 75-year-old Martin Gugino.
They are still employed, but no longer on ERT.

It looks to me like he was not pushed hard at all....that he either took a flop or he is one some medication that gives him balance control issues.
This illegal illegitimate regime that runs America is at fault...not me.... they do not represent me and I have long objected to their crimes against humanity.
This isn't per se a defense of the cop but some rational thought on the event.
1. We don't know if there was any verbal interaction between the man and the police. If there was, that's important. If the guy gave them any sort of lip it might have been deserved.
2. It appears the police were advancing in some numbers. The last thing you do is approach a police line moving forward like this guy did. The police are going to react and it won't be pretty for you-- whatever your intentions.
3. The police reaction should be expected. They are moving forward in a line to engage a protest or whatever. The line moves past anyone that is taken down. There's a second line and support staff behind that. The second line protects the first and will "cuff and stuff" the person taken down. Support staff (you see two kneel by the guy when they advance to him) will take care of his injuries. The front line doesn't stop for somebody taken down, they march past. That's normal and expected behavior and training, like it or not.
4. The age of the man knocked down is irrelevant. The police don't know or care what his age is. They care about his intentions and consider him a potential threat regardless because he's approaching a police line instead of retreating from it like they want him to. That's his mistake.
None of this potentially excuses the officer, but it also doesn't excuse the man. He could be as much or completely at fault here. His injury is an unfortunate side effect of taking on the police exactly when you, and he, shouldn't.

In the 2006 bulletin, the FBI detailed the threat of white nationalists and skinheads infiltrating police in order to disrupt investigations against fellow members and recruit other supremacists.

BLUEXITA Modest Proposal For Separating Blue States From Red
Dear Red-State Trump Voter,
Let’s face it, guys: We’re done.
It is a tragedy that so much of the work that so many men and women toiled at for so long to make this a better country, and a better world, has been thrown away, leaving us all in such needless peril.
This is why our separation in all but name is necessary.

Having re-watched the video, I'd say the guy was totally at fault for his injuries. Note the following if you watch it carefully.
The guy approaches the cops as they advance in strength. The police are clearly shouting orders at the man, repeatedly, but he ignores them and continues to try and engage the police clearly saying something to at least one of them. They shout at him again and then the one officer shoves him, probably intending to force him back and to retreat. Instead, the guy loses balance and falls hitting his head.
That's unfortunate but it is entirely his fault this situation occurred.
1. He should not have approached the police when he did.
2. He should have listened to their orders and complied. He did not.
3. The police reacted as trained trying to force him back as they advance.
4. The police line as trained continued forward with other police covering the guy until support staff (in this case medics) at the rear of the formation reach him and begin to treat him.
The police did nothing wrong. The guy is entirely at fault here for being a dumbass and not listening to the police and staying away from them.
