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. The officers had been suspended without pay Friday after a TV crew captured the confrontation the night before near the end of protests. But dozens of Buffalo police officers were angered over their fellow officers' suspensions and stepped down from the department's crowd control unit Friday. Jeff Rinaldo later told the TV station that an internal affairs investigation was opened. You don't want to see anything like that," Mayor Brown told WIVB-TV on Friday.
