Commenters on Twitter expressed both contempt and disgust for Buffalo firefighters and police officers who turned out in front of Buffalo City Court to support two suspended police officers with applause and cheering.

Moments after officers Aaron Torglaski and Robert McCabe were charged with second-degree assault and then released without having to post bail, they were greeted as heroes outside the courthouse.

After a video was posted showing the celebration, commenters on Twitter vented at cops and firefighters for defending the two officers who assaulted the 75-year-old man who had to be rushed to a hospital after they shoved him to the ground where he sustained a head injury.

You can see some responses below:

And people wonder why there’s such anger towards the culture in some police departments.

Buffalo police offers leaving the courthouse on charges of felony assault receive applause from their fellow officers.

Had they killed the senior man, they probably would have brought cake.

Hey #BuffaloPD

I saw your cops applaud the two animals as they exited the courthouse after pleading not guilty to busting a defenseless old man's head on the pavement.

I dubbed then sound of your applause to the tape, for context.

They are clapping an assault on a 75 year old man. There is no other way to see this. Sickening. Did they also clap when George Floyd was murdered?
