A former FBI agent who trained Buffalo police officers said the 75-year-old protester who was hospitalized after a riot officer pushed him before he fell backward “got away lightly.”

“If that would have been a 40-year-old guy going up there, I guarantee you they’d have been all over him,” retired FBI agent, Gary DiLaura, was quoted by the New York Post as saying.
