Albany’s auditor and several members of the common council are criticizing the police department’s removal of protestors who had been camping outside of South Station for nearly a week.
Democratic Auditor Dorcey Applyrs and six councilors called the operation Thursday afternoon “disheartening and overly aggressive.” In a joint statement Friday, they say Albany Police should be exercising extra caution to de-escalate matters and utilize trusted voices to address concerns of injustice and police brutality. Albany Police arrested several people Thursday when officers cleared demonstrators from Arch Street as well as two people involved in an earlier clash with police there April 14.
