The 75-year old protester who was pushed to the ground by Buffalo police officers has a fractured skull and cannot walk, his lawyer said Tuesday. Martin Gugino had been peacefully protesting at a Black Lives Matter event in early June when he was shoved by the officers, who have since been charged with assault.
