So Today, Democratic Mayor Byron Brown Threw Mr. Gugino Under The Bus

[sfstaxprep]

Said that there had been announcements and orders to leave the area, and he was in violation of those as well as curfew.

That there had been skirmishes earlier in the day against the police, so they were justified in clearing the area.

I didn't see his entire speech, just what they showed tonight on CNN.

4. Wow, just wow

Democratic Buffalo Mayor Byron Brown on Friday said was told that the 75-year-old man who was pushed down by police in a viral video was a “major instigator” and an “agitator.”

Well then, of course he deserved to have his head cracked open. Mayor is afraid of his police union, hmm?

5. What does the "D" next to his name stand for?

It must be "dick" since he sure doesn't sound like a Dem. Fuck him and the other cops who quit in protest and the other cops who cheered their quitting! Seems like the police union needs to get a renovation.

7. ".. clearing the area.. ".. but not pushing a 75 year old

man down on the cement(or whatever the surface was) that caused injury.

8. They might be an excuse to arrest him. It's not an excuse to assault him. - n/t
