  • Buffalo Police officer with attention-drawing videos suspended for second time
    The Buffalo Police officer who first drew wide attention in February 2016 after he was suspended from the force for making outrageous social media videos — and posting them online has again been suspended for similar activity. Many of the videos featured topics that police leaders deemed as objectionable, such as Hy pretending to snort cocaine; recording a fake police shooting in which Hy tells the victim to be quiet since he was only grazed, as well as one featuring Hy, who is white, dancing around with a black officer to promote racial harmony. - The Buffalo News
