That's the 75 year old guy the police shoved to the ground. A recent report on OAN revealed that Mr. Gugino is a well known activist and agitator. The thing he was holding up to the officer was a police tracker that gives coordinates of police locations and is a well known tactic of Antifa. It's called 'skimming' and also used to blackout police communication.
Martin Gugino is a 75-year-old professional agitator and Antifa provocateur who brags on his blog about the number of times he can get arrested and escape prosecution. According to Buffalo Mayor Byron Brown “There has been vandalism, there have been fires set, there have been stores broken into...

"Martin Gugino is a 75-year-old professional agitator and Antifa provocateur who
brags on his blog about the number of times he can get arrested and escape prosecution. Gugino’s Twitter Account is also filled with anti-cop sentiment [
SEE HERE]. Last Thursday Gugino traveled from his home in Amherst, New York, to Buffalo to agitate a protest crowd."
"
During his effort Gugino was attempting to capture the radio communications signature of Buffalo police officers. CTH noted what he was attempting on Thursday night as soon as the now viral video was being used by media to sell a police brutality narrative. [
Thread Here] Today, a more clear video has emerged that shows exactly what he was attempting."
As much as I know how right Sundance has been on OTHER stuff at CTH -- I think he's WAY off on this one.. There are 2 vids of this "push down" and in BOTH -- the object in the guys' right hand is a cell phone...
This is NOT a surveillance tool for "skimming" anything.. You can only record audio on a cell phone so no "frequencies" or coding or other metadata is gonna get "skimmed"... And all he's gonna hear is the ambient audio... Guy might have THOUGHT he was doing something, but it was a stupid move to approach the police and started waving a cell phone at their belts...
Prove it.
I spent 35 years in signal/image analysis.. SEVEN of which was in support of our nations' darkest Intel groups.. I know a bit about signals intelligence and how to gather and analyze it.,.
A commercial phone has NO ability to intercept ANYTHING outside bandwidth of it devices.. So you have some "local net" receivers like "bluetooth", a GPS receiver, and a WiFi receiver..
The GPS antenna/frequencies have NOTHING of police tactical value on them and are BASICALLY just receivers.., Both the Wifi and "bluetooth like" receivers/transmitters in a phone are STANDARDIZED and PUBLISHED frequencies. Dont NEED to skim them to find those..
So if a police tactical helmet is on those standards that a cell phone CAN receive -- all you're gonna get is the voice communications from the police tactical group in the IMMEDIATE area.. And you could DO THAT with a special antenna and STANDARD Blutooth scanner from a stand-off of about 50 yards.. Don't HAVE to RUN UP to a phalanx of cops coming your direction and point your phone at their belts to FIND a standard "local net" communication...
And if the police use MODIFIED Blutooth frequencies, your PHONE cannot receive them... So if he was TRYING to be hero to find out what "local net" tact frequencies they were on -- you CANNOT DO THAT with a commercial phone.. That's the INTEL definition of skimming or finding PROPRIETARY/SECRET communications..
He's a progressive zealot moron with a "plan" that makes ZERO sense given the allegations from Sundance..
