Trump Claims 75 Year-Old Man Faked Fall After Shoved By Police

June 10, 2020 6:10 am

Two police officers in Buffalo, New York, were charged with assault after the incident last week in which protester Martin Gugino, 75, was pushed and fell straight backwards after approaching an advancing line of police in helmets and body armour.
