The Revenge of the Thin Blue Line 19: Buffalo Officers, won't you push an Old Man to the Ground Tonight, Push an Old Man to the Ground Tonight!


Besides butchering the spirit of the original quote by Terry Pratchet it draws a distinct blue line between Justice and the Police and clearly indicates Police don't provide Justice.  Because in the United States, we don't have a Justice System we have a Legal System, and that system is geared to over protect rich and their property and indemnify the Guards of the System

In 2020, protests over the extrajudicial killing of George Floyd erupted across the country.  These were peaceful, but they were also an expression of left-wing agitation and the United States does not allow left-wing agitation so Police were called out in force and all manner of egregious violence was meted out on protestors.

Right-wing agitation, on the contrary, is coddled and encouraged in the Nation as witnessed by the two domestic terrorists who planned to kidnap and murder Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer were acquitted and the other two were given mistrials.   

So, when 75 year old Martin Gugino was shoved to the ground by two Buffalo New York Police Officers (dressed in their best Judge Dredd gear and flanked by 50 other similarly festooned Officers) and began bleeding from the ears after suffering a fractured skull, it became another chance for right-wingers across the Nation to invent and concoct outlandish conspiracies of radio jamming to justify the egregious misue of force, which is exactly what fascist Twitter and Traitor-in-Chief Trump did.

Well, as these things go, the two Officers were cleared today of any policy violations by an arbitrator and of course, a Grand Jury last year declined to indict either officer.

The arbitrator Jeffrey Selchick's written opinion is ludicrous of course,
"Upon review, there is no evidence to sustain any claim that Respondents (police officers) had any other viable options other than to move Gugino out of the way of their forward movement."

Gotta push that solitary old man over instead walking around him because he was trying to zap the digital radios of the Riot Police with his special 5G vaccines!  The attorney for Gugino is continuing with the lawsuit against the City of Buffalo but, the Police Commissioner planned to reinstate the two Officers today.

The gentleman you speak of was not an innocent old man, he was a provocateur who was taunting the Officers. Also, the Police Officer pushed him out of the way, the old man fell because instead of focusing on keeping his balance, he used half of his focus to keep the "device" in his hand at all times.
Your other insinuations in the article just do not add up. There was a lot of lawlessness during the 2020 protests and riots, lots of small businesses lost their small business.
The cruelest irony is with all the money that BLM got, they could have created legal seeding centers that would take on cases that big law firms would not. But in this instance it sounds like the old man made a full recovery which is the real feel good part of the story.

Since god is your co-pilot you shouldn't be a lying idiot Alessandro Machi, but of course it's heartening to me that you cite the bs about a device to jam the radios as if you even know anything about how police radios work or how a hand held device would somehow disrupt there radios.

And it's fascinating a lying moron such as yourself is an expert in mind-body connections and what exactly a person is supposed to do when pushed i.e. your moronic contention about Gugino focusing on keeping concentration on the device in his hand instead of executing a Judo break fall of his descent like you or your Master Putin would have done!

At least we can agree that you are lying idiot though.
