A Buffalo police lieutenant has been suspended after a viral video showed him using vulgar language while confronting a woman who was recording an arrest. 

Police Commissioner Byron Lockwood has suspended Lt. Michael DeLong without pay and initiated an internal investigation into the incident, according to a spokesperson for the Buffalo Police Department.

The video, which was posted to Facebook Monday, begins by showing police questioning a man outside of a west side convenience store.

Ruweyda Salim said in her post that she began filming because she was concerned with the number of officers who had responded to the scene. The incident occurred Sunday afternoon.

Thirty seconds into the video, DeLong approaches Salim and says "We have cameras, too." 

Salim asks DeLong to back up.

"Can you get away from me," she asks.

"No," DeLong replies.  "Move me."

"I'm not going to move you, but you can get away from me, though," she asks again.

"No," he says.

The video appears to show Salim is at least 50 feet from the man who is being questioned by police. DeLong, who is not wearing a face mask, is seen standing very close to Salim, ignoring her request to respect her "personal space."

"The cop in the video literally walked up on me and physically and verbally harassed me by shoving his whole body against me, breathing on me, calling me out of my name, and making sexist remark[s]," Salim wrote. "I kept trying [to] move away from but he kept coming after me. He was overtly intimidating me and trying to provoke me. None of the 9 other cops stopped this man from physically harassing me. I’m so small and not intimidating in the slightest but they acted like [I] was such a threat."

DeLong tells her the man was found with two crack pipes and had assaulted his mother, and Salim questions why it takes 10 officers to deal with this man.

DeLong leans close to her and says, "You're a disrespectful little fucking cunt, that's what you are."

 

"Thank you, you're going to be viral," she replied. 

 

The video, which has been edited, shows DeLong and Salim continuing to exchange words.  At one point he tells her she needs to leave because she is on a public sidewalk, and asks her where she works. 

"I'm going to come to your work and sit there and tape you," DeLong tells her.

The video ends with the man police had been questioning being loaded onto a stretcher to be taken by ambulance to a nearby hospital.

Salim later posted that as she left the scene, DeLong followed the car she was riding in and made a traffic stop, asking the occupants for their identification and telling them they were stopped for "valid reasons."

"It’s concerning that he waited to follow us so he could catch us making a mistake to further intimidate us," Salim wrote.

As of Tuesday morning, the video had been viewed 146,000 times.
