A video of the shooting clearly shows: “Pito was running away from police, who were running behind him,” the family’s attorney, Steve Cohen, told Investigative Post. “They shot him in the back once. He fell and got up. They shot him in the back a second time. He fell down dead. … There could be no interpretation of that video that [concludes] Mr. Rivera was pointing a gun at the police when he was shot [or that] … he posed any danger to the police.” (investigativepost.org, Sept. 14)
Family, community members and activists alike agree with Cohen’s argument that “if the Buffalo police consider this a righteous shoot, then no one is safe.” On Sept. 28, they affirmed that if there is no justice for Pito, there will be no peace!
