They tried
WBFO
A Buffalo Police spokesman issued a statement at 8:50 p.m. Thursday saying "a 5th person was arrested during a skirmish with other protestors and also charged with disorderly conduct. During that skirmish involving protesters, one person was injured when he tripped & fell."
Notice that the cops just walk on by but the National guard stops to help.
I have friends in Buffalo and will be contacting them.
