SCHENECTADY — The city’s draft police reform plan fails to go far enough to reforming the police, the majority of more than a dozen people who spoke at a City Council public hearing on the plan said Monday night.
Some speakers were members of All of Us, a community group that continues to push for consideration of 13 demands for reform it made last summer, in the middle of last summer’s nationwide Black Lives Matter movement against police-involved deaths of unarmed Black people and police brutality. Other speakers were members of the local clergy.
