Trump Sees Intent in Trap 75-Year-Old Protester
US President Donald Trump has wondered on Twitter whether the fall of the 75-year-old demonstrator after a push by the police in the city of Buffalo was not a preconceived plan.
He could have been a provocateur of the far-left Antifa, the head of state believes.
Two police officers have been charged in Buffalo, New York, with “second-degree” assault because they knocked over the elderly activist during a demonstration against police brutality and racism.
The demonstrator was injured and hospitalized.
Both agents say they are innocent and find support from Trump.
According to him, Martin Gugino tried to disable police communication equipment with a scanner. “I watched it, and it fell faster than it was pushed. It pointed its scanner. Could it be pre-positioned?”
The demonstrator’s fall and the pool of blood around his head were filmed and spread around the world via social media.
