This video is hard to watch
Videos captured by local media organizations show a large group of officers closing in on Buffalo’s Niagara Square to enforce an 8 p.m. curfew amid scattered anti-racism protests in the area. The graphic footage offers a close-up look at the force some officers use on protesters, even when they’re peaceful.
As seen in the clips, a single protester approached the officers and began speaking to them. Two of the cops moved toward him, and at least one shoved him with his hand. The protester, a white man, fell to the ground and audibly hit his head on the concrete, where he lay still and began to bleed from his ear. The officers stopped to look at him until another officer stepped in and directed them to keep walking. Just about an hour ago, police officers shove man in Niagara Square to the ground .
