Try to keep it civil though. The rules still apply here.

All 57 of the members of the Buffalo Police Department's Emergency Response Team resigned Friday from the unit which responds to riots and other crowd control situations, the president of the union that represents Buffalo police officers told The Buffalo News.
And, there, again, is the UNION speaking for them, and I have a serious problem with that.
Two law enforcement sources confirmed the resignations.
Two members of the Emergency Response Team were suspended without pay late Thursday after they involved in pushing a 75-year-old protester to the ground as they were clearing the area in front of Buffalo City Hall at the emergency curfew. The Erie County District Attorney's Office is investigating the incident. No charges have been filed.
The Emergency Response Team members have not quit the police department, but have stepped down from the tactical unit, according to the sources.
So, let's be clear - they simply resigned from the ERT, not from their jobs as police officers, and in a city like that, they're not usually full-time ERT, but simply gear up for responses when needed.
So, their "resignations" really don't mean squat.

Good riddance to them.
Btw, the two perps have just been charged with assault.Last edited by Cow Poke; 06-06-2020, 04:06 PM.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.
