The arbitrator assigned to the Buffalo case in which two police officers shoved a 75-year-old protester to the ground in June 2020 has cleared the cops of wrongdoing.
Updated 5 hours agoAn arbitrator has ruled that two Buffalo police officers didn't violate the department's use-of-force guidelines when theyduring racial injustice protests following the murder of George Floyd in Minneapolis.
The episode drew national attention when a news crew captured videoof Martin Gugino being shoved by officers Robert McCabe and Aaron Torgalski in downtown Buffalo, as crowd control officers in riot gear cleared demonstrators for an 8 p.m. curfew. Gugino, pushed backward, started bleeding after hitting his head on the pavement and spent about a month in the hospital with a fractured skull and brain injury.
In a decision Friday, arbitrator Jeffrey Selchick wrote, “Upon review, there is no evidence to sustain any claim that Respondents had any other viable options other than to move Gugino out of the way of their forward movement.”
