Buffalo police have launched an internal investigation into an incident on Sunday in that was caught on video.
Police Commissioner Byron Lockwood responded Monday afternoon by ordering an investigation by the department’s Internal Affairs unit. Lockwood was responding to the wide circulation of the video, shot by Salim on her phone outside a 7 Eleven convenience store and distributed on social media.
In the video, Salim, a community organizer who has done work with PUSH Buffalo and the Western New York Peace Center, continues questioning why there are ten officers at the scene and that is when DeLong responds with the derogatory name.
