New York Governor Andrew Cuomo speaking June 5, 2020.

New York Governor Andrew Cuomo says the video of an elderly white man in Buffalo knocked down by police and left to bleed on the sidewalk made him “sick to his stomach." The Democrat is calling for the Erie County District Attorney to investigate criminal charges for the officers involved. 

Cuomo’s comments Friday come as protests continue around the state and as the legislature plans to meet Monday to discuss bills dealing with police brutality.
