Buffalo Mayor Byron Brown Covering & Making Excuses For Police

[sfstaxprep]

Listening to him right now on Rachel Maddow. She keeps questioning things he's saying, and he continues to give the standard police excuses.

EXTREMELY disappointing to hear from a member of the Democratic Party. He seems more interested in defending the police than criticizing their actions in the harshest possible terms.

5. I'm getting upset listening to this asshole as he goes on and on talking to Rachel

He sounds like a robotic recording and insincere

Looks like Buffalo needs a clean house - new police chief, new officers, new mayor....

[Celerity]

6. Great call, I was just going to make an OP. So disappointing

At least he slammed the union at the end.

8. It's Standard Procedure To Walk Past An Injured Person

They were in formation, as he put it. Not their responsibility, their responsibility was to keep moving forward, clearing people away.

Rachel seemed stunned. She asked him about it twice, wording it different the second time, and still he doubled down on his explanation.

9. This is what always happens

Everyone hates the man until the are the man

10. Ari Melber brought this up the same mayors are making too many excuses for police violence.

[BigmanPigman]

12. Now he is on CNN with Chris Cuomo.

Let's see if he gives the same brilliant responses to Chris.

[cwydro]

13. Yeah.

14. If magats infiltrate military and police

Don't think for one second
A brainwashed republican toady can't fifth column his way into the Democratic party.

Just like gay republicans exist,so do black republicans. Carson is an example of a republican toady. Toady's can be of any race,it's what they believe,even though it makes no sense to any Dem with a brain in thier head.

On the whole Dems are good people. But a bad person can pretend to be a good person too. Just saying.

I don't like being so cynical
But I put nothing past the evil traitors pushing for the ruin of our democracy.

15. If you were wondering why police officers did stuff like this, now you know. n/t

[CanonRay]

16. Shame on him. Inexcusable.

[onecaliberal]

17. They all need to be fired. There is NO excuse.

If they’re acting like this when the spotlight is on them, who knows how they conduct themselves when no one is looking. We cannot tolerate this any longer.

18. What a pathetic POS

I was screaming at the TV, I wanted Rachel to just cut his mike
