"Who are we? How did we get to this place?" he said of the video.
New York Governor Andrew Cuomo said Friday that video of an elderly man being pushed to the ground by police in Buffalo, New York,"disturbs your basic sense of decency and humanity." The video shows the man bleeding from his head after hitting the pavement.
Two Buffalo officers have been suspended over the incident. Cuomo said he also supports firing the officers, but noted that it is dependent on union rules. After discussing the Buffalo incident, and other recent instances of police actions caught on tape in New York City, Cuomo said New York state"should be at the forefront" of stopping abuse by law enforcement.
Cuomo said the state is expected to pass the"say their name" reform agenda next week. The agenda is made up of four cornerstones: make police disciplinary records transparent, ban chokeholds, make false 911 calls based on race hate crimes, and give police murder investigations to the state Attorney General.
