The Buffalo Police Shove Elderly Man video captures a June 2020 incident during the George Floyd protests in Buffalo, New York, where 75-year-old activist Martin Gugino was pushed to the ground by police officers. The footage quickly went viral across Twitter and news outlets, sparking nationwide outrage over police conduct and the treatment of peaceful demonstrators. While originally a serious piece of news footage, the image of the officers moving past the fallen man has been adapted as a template for social commentary, illustrating power imbalances, official indifference, or the harsh consequences of questioning authority. It remains a stark visual representation of systemic tension and the impact of viral civil rights documentation in the digital age.
