LIVE: Buffalo Police Resign in Defense of Cops Who Shoved Man; D.C. Unveils Black Lives Matter Sign

Fifty-Seven police officers in Buffalo, New York, resigned Friday out of protest for two of their colleagues who shoved an elderly protester to the ground on Thursday, causing him to lie motionless with blood pooling around his head. The incident occurred shortly after a curfew imposed to curb unrest following George Floyd's death came into force. The man is in stable condition at a local hospital. City workers and activists painted the words Black Lives Matter in enormous bright yellow letters on the street leading to the White House, a highly visible sign of the District of Columbia's embrace of a protest movement that has put it at odds with President Donald Trump. D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser tweeted aerial video of the mural shortly after it was completed Friday. The letters and an image of the city's flag stretch across 16th Street for two blocks, ending just before the church where Trump staged a photo-op after federal officers forcibly cleared a peaceful demonstration to make way for the president and his entourage. "The section of 16th street in front of the White House is now officially 'Black Lives Matter Plaza,'" Bowser tweeted. A black and white sign was put up to mark the change.
