GOOD!!! This is why it’s so important that people video these things, and that we make a lot of noise when we see them. I would prefer more than a “suspension,” but at least the attention is on it now.

You talk as though regular citizens don’t get to have a say in what happens in this country. That’s how we got where we are. You don’t have to be a policeman to have a say in how they police us.

"GOOD!!!" How is it "good" all he did was order them suspended? That's a lot of what lead us here with police officers getting slaps on the wrist. 😒

We don’t actually know that. I’m pretty confident the people in Buffalo are going to remain on this issue. It’s been all over the news and you could see on the video how upset people were. I can’t imagine there won’t be a lot of pressure.

Video after video in cities across this nation the brutality of the police is on full display. The dysfunctional culture of the police force must be examined and changed.

Wonder if the body cameras were working. Would we have seen this, without the cell phone video?
