BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) â Erie County (New York) District Attorney John Flynn says a grand jury has dismissed the case against two Buffalo police officers who pushed a man during Black Lives Matter protests in Niagara Square in June 2020.
Flynn said the evidence that they used in the case was video showing the officers shoving Gugino away and Gugino subsequently hitting his head on a sidewalk.
DA goes on to say that Gugino did break the law that night but did not deserve to be shoved. https://t.co/swgGUOSvMi Jeff Slawson (@Jeffslawson) February 11, 2021
