The video from the public radio station WBFO meeting Thursday night, which occurred near the end of the protests over the death of George Floyd in Minnesota, caused an outrage.

Mayor Byron Brown said that the police commissioner arrested two police officers without pay. Police officials are expected to provide more information at a news conference Friday afternoon.

The state attorney's office, Letiaya James, said on Twitter that officials were aware of the video. US Senator Charles Schumer called for an investigation, according to a statement carried by WIVB-TV.

"The accidental cruelty shown by the Buffalo police officers tonight is painful and unacceptable," John Core, director of the Buffalo Branch of the Civil Liberties Union in New York, said in a statement, adding that it should be "a wake-up call." For city leaders to tackle police violence.
