No Charges For Cops Who Shoved Elderly Buffalo Man

The Daily Beast reports:

A grand jury has declined to indict two Buffalo cops caught on camera shoving a 75-year-old protester during a June 2020 anti-police brutality protest and leaving him in a pool of blood, Erie County District Attorney John Flynn announced Thursday.

Aaron Torgalski, 39, and Robert McCabe, 32, were each charged with assault in the second degree, a Class D felony, for shoving Martin Gugino, a longtime peace activist in the upstate New York city, during the June 4 protest in the wake of George Floyd’s police killing.

As you might recall, the police initially claimed Gugino “tripped and fell” despite the video that was seen by millions. The next day Trump tweeted that Gugino was likely an “antifa provocateur” and that the police had been set up.
