When asked how officers should have responded to the 75-year-old protester in Buffalo, Erie County District Attorney John Flynn said "you don't crack a skull on the concrete."
Flynn was asked what police officers should have done if the man was not listening to officers, to which he responded, "what you do is that you grab him" and "turn him around" and arrest him if he's doing something illegal.
"You don't take a baton and shove, along with the officer next to him," and knock him down and "crack his head," Flynn said.
Flynn said he highly doubts "shoving a 75-year-old man" is part of any training. But "if what you've been trained to do is unlawful, that's not an excuse" and police should "reevaluate their training."
