The Trump Paradox

[togor]

Is that he comes closest to articulating his truth when he spouts this kind of BS.

Buffalo protester shoved by Police could be an ANTIFA provocateur. 75 year old Martin Gugino was pushed away after appearing to scan police communications in order to black out the equipment. @OANN I watched, he fell harder than was pushed. Was aiming scanner. Could be a set up?

Thank goodness for Medicare.

I've seen it mentioned elsewhere that he was a professional protestor,

also read that he was set up or set himself up for the fall,


hence the set of pics,


true? no idea, but likely partially

I wouldn't want to go to the ICU in this Covid environment.

How does one practice falling backwards and cracking their skull open? People need to change their web sites, including Trump, who apparently has nothing else going on.

Sorry I'm just seeing a bunch of goons, no protestor faking it and there's clearly no fire or loud mob nearby. WTF does anyone expect? It's Buffalo--a city long since passed by.

Added: and as more than one commentator has pointed out, the original "he tripped" report was only amended after the video, with the explanation that the guy in back "couldn't see". Well how come they didn't ask the guys in front? The whole thing stinks, including this squad that like so many others feels empowered to beat on the public with impugnity.

looks like he lost his balance after being confronted by, or he confronted the police, and shoved,

what really bothers me , since we may never know the who's and what's of his case, is the officer that was recoiling like he was going to deliver a blow or 2 after the old man was down,

You could be right. I would have had more respect for these guys had they all quit the force instead of just this riot detail. Another reason not to go to Buffalo. Although Niagara Falls is quite a sight if someone has a few hours to kill. Once the 4th largest city in America, and a transshipment point between the Great Lakes and Erie Canal, it has gone steadily downhill since the St. Lawrence seaway opened.

I'd have more respect if they had stopped and rendered assistance,

one or 2 of that column could have given the guy aid until the ambulance showed up,

Even that would have balanced out the picture, a couple of guys stopping instead of all marching past and leaving it for someone else.
