Buffalo, New York, Mayor Byron Brown on Wednesday ordered that a new police unit, trained in civil rights and without military gear, handle peaceful demonstrations. This order comes after a police riot unit was involved in the injury of a 75-year-old protester.

During the June 4 march against racism and police brutality in Buffalo, two Buffalo officers pushed and injured Martin Gugino. The two officers, who were part of the special riot response squad called the Emergency Response Team (ERT), currently face felony charges.

Under Brown’s order, this new police unit, called the Public Protection Detail, would be trained in rights such as the freedom of speech. The unit would also “work with leaders and participants of future protests and demonstrations to ensure the safety and security of all people.”
