This is why we should never trust cops to protect us, during #DirectActions, during #protests, or even just going about our lives.

"Elite Sniper Trained" cop doesn't know basic firearm security and accountability. Not to mention the excuses the #Buffalo #police are giving just show they are nothing but #cosplaying a #military #OccupationForce.

Been a few days now, still no dismissal. “Sniper rifle falls off roof during #Buffalo's St. Patrick's Day parade” https://www.wgrz.com/article/news/crime/sniper-rifle-falls-off-roof-during-buffalos-st-patricks-day-parade-buffalo-police/71-ed066b7c-a44a-4018-b3cb-0e48973535c0 Fascinating analysis from leadership: “[Joseph Gramaglia, Buffalo Police commissioner] does not believe the officer mishandled the firearm. ‘It's not that it was physically being handled, it wasn't dropped,’ Gramaglia said.” Clearly the rifle climbed out of the vehicle, mounted itself to a tripod, and leapt for its freedom.
