Buffalo, N.Y. • Two Buffalo police officers were charged with assault Saturday, prosecutors said, after a video showed them shoving a 75-year-old protester in recent demonstrations over the death of George Floyd in Minnesota.

Robert McCabe and Aaron Torgalski, who surrendered Saturday morning, pleaded not guilty to second-degree assault. They were released without bail.

McCabe, 32, and Torgalski, 39, “crossed a line” when they shoved the man down hard enough for him to crack his head on the ground, Erie County District Attorney John Flynn said at a news conference, calling the victim "a harmless 75-year-old man.”



The officers had been suspended without pay Friday after a TV crew captured the confrontation the night before near the end of protests. If convicted of the felony assault charge, they face up to seven years in prison.

Phone messages were left on Saturday with their lawyers.

The footage shows the man, identified as longtime activist Martin Gugino, approaching a line of helmeted officers holding batons as they clear demonstrators from Niagara Square around the time of an 8 p.m. curfew.

Two officers push Gugino backward, and he hits his head on the pavement. Blood spills as officers walk past. One officer leans down to check on the injured man before another officer urges the colleague to keep walking.

The police officers “knew this was bad,” Flynn said of the video. “Look at their body language.”



The video of the encounter sparked outrage online as demonstrators take to cities across the country to protest racial injustice sparked by the death of George Floyd, a black man who died after a white police officer pressed a knee into his neck for several minutes.

“I think there was criminal liability from what I saw on the video,” Gov. Andrew Cuomo said at a briefing Saturday. “I think what the mayor did and the district attorney did was right, and I applaud them for acting as quickly as they did.”

You better listen my brothers
'Cause if you do you can hear
There are voices still calling across the years
They're all crying across the ocean
And they're crying across the land
And they will till we all come to understand

None of us are free
None of us are free
None of us are free, if one of us is chained
None of us are free

When there are people in darkness
And babies can't see the light
If we don't say it's wrong then that says it right
We got try to feel for each other
Let our brothers know that we care
Got to get the message, send it out loud and clear

None of us are free
None of us are free
None of us are free, if one of us is chained
None of us are free
It's a simple truth we all need to see
None of us are free, if one of us is chained
None of us are free

Now I swear your salvation isn't too hard too find
None of us can find it on our own
We've got to join together in spirit, heart and mind
So that every soul who's suffering will know they're not alone
If you just look around you
You're gonna see what I say
'Cause the world is getting smaller each passing day
Now it's time to making some changes
Now it's time for us all to realize
That the truth is shining real bright right before our eyes

None of us are free
None of us are free
None of us are free, if one of us is chained
None of us are free

It's a very hard
Of humanity
None of us are free, if one of us is chained
None of us are free
none of us
(None of us, none of us, none of us) none of us
(None of us, none of us) oh none of us (none of us are free)
Now, you hear me
(None of us, none of us) I say
(None of us, none of us, none of us)
(None of us, none of us) if one of us is chained (none of us are free)
None of us are free
(None of us, none of us) I mean
(None of us, none of us, none of us) oh none of us
(None of us) nobody, none of us are free
None of us are free
(None of us, none of us) none of us are free
(None of us, none of us) none of us are free, if one of us is chained
None of us are free
None of us are free (none of us, none of us)
None of us are free (none of us, none of us)
None of us are free (none of us) if one of us is chained
None of us are free
 
This ad popped up on Twitter today; how the fuck does he represent all three of these families? And why? How do HE get the cases when there are hundreds if not thousands of competent lawyers in every one of these cities??



I'm assuming he does the work pro bono, so that along with the fact that he can directly contact people in the national media like Rev Al probably makes him a decent option for certain families.

Welp!

Thomas Lane, 37, was convicted for criminal charges and traffic violations seven times before becoming a Minneapolis police officer


One of the three former police officers charged with aiding and abetting the murder of George Floyd had a string of criminal offences and traffic violations before he became a cop. Thomas Lane, 37, of St. Paul, was charged on Wednesday afternoon in relation to Floyd's death, which happened when he was on his fourth full-time shift as a police officer.

Before he joined the force, Business Insider revealed that Lane had racked up a slew of traffic violations and became an officer despite having a criminal record. Lane was convicted of seven charges in total, among them obstructing legal process and one charge of damaging property. He had also worked a variety of jobs in the service industry before he was hired as a police officer.

His Police application: http://www.ci.minneapolis.mn.us/www/groups/public/@mpd/documents/webcontent/wcmsp-224779.pdf


Lane's personnel file has been released by his former employer, the Minneapolis Police Department, but with many sections redacted. His file notes that Lane left high school before graduating and then held at least ten jobs between 2010 and 2017.

During this time, he pursued his GED and a college degree as he worked as a laborer, a telemarketer, a server, a bartender, a security guard, and a sales associate. In 2017, he began a job as a juvenile correctional officer and assistant probation officer, the file states. The Minneapolis Star Tribune noted that Lane's attorney on Thursday said he 'previously worked as a juvenile counselor at a few "juvenile places" in the Twin Cities and once received a community service award from Mayor Jacob Frey and Minneapolis Police Chief Medaria Arradondo for volunteering with children'.

However, during these years Lane was also compiling a laundry list of convictions from dozens of criminal charges and traffic violations, being convicted of seven of the charges in total. Speeding, obstructing traffic and two parking meter violations were among the four related to traffic violations but he also faced more serious criminal charges on several occasions.

When he was 18, Lane was charged with two counts of obstructing legal process, damaging property, unlawful assembly, and disorderly conduct but details of the incident are not available.
