BUFFALO, N.Y. — Buffalo Police tell 2 On Your Side an Internal Affairs investigation is underway after an officer's rifle fell off a roof and onto a sidewalk during the St. Patrick's Day Parade on Sunday.
Pictures shared with WGRZ by Andrew Mavrogeorgis show the officer positioned on top of the building at 560 Delaware Avenue at Allen Street in downtown Buffalo. The rifle is perched on the edge, on top of a stand, a short distance from the officer. At some point, the rifle fell onto the sidewalk below, where people were walking about.
Another picture shows the officer peering over the ledge of the building at the rifle on the sidewalk below, while people gathered for the parade pass by.
A nearby officer was able to pick up the rifle and carry it to safety.
There's no word yet on if the officer will be disciplined, and there are no reports of any injuries.
Buffalo Police say the officer was on the roof conducting "overwatch" of the parade, a routine safety protocol at large events.

Is the city of Buffalo hiring Florida Man for their police force?
Someone tell me again why we should trust the police.

It has to be a problem first. Those words weren't relevant.

Or it proved the opposite. I favor that interpretation myself. Maybe we should resort to reason, just like I did back then?

Yeah well, that's how I figured you misread my stuff also. You just disregard anything that contradicts your preconceptions, and regurgitate your mass media propaganda in it's place. Everything about you is very normal.

You have to show I misread it first. I await your explanation.

*sigh* been there, done that. Just pick any of your responses to my posts

I strongly doubt that. But you can prove me wrong by linking to any of your posts where you actually have shown the claim of misreading that you assert here. My bet is that you will fail to show I have a misreading problem in this discussion.
Also, there's no point to talking about your posts as an AC when you refuse to tell us what those posts were. What people miss here is that unless an AC takes care to link (rhetorically or via HTML) previous posts to present, we have no way of determining what you posted earlier. By default, every post you make as AC is your first post. There is no past unless you make it so.

Looks like you're playing with yourself again. You win the internet. Pick up your prize on the way out, it's on the dresser
