A number of Oneonta residents protested downtown following the officer-involved shooting on April 6, when Oneonta Police Sergeant Ralph Pajerski shot 23-year-old Tyler Green on his front lawn. Green had stabbed his girlfriend in the leg and caused her to drop their 2-year-old child, and lunged at the child as the fatal shots were fired.
Protesters called for OPD to release the body camera footage from the shooting, and asserted that the use of force against Green was unnecessary, even if he was guilty of abusing his girlfriend.
