SARATOGA SPRINGS – Black Lives Matters activists took to the steps of City Hall to condemn public statements made by the assistant police chief and public safety commissioner, and they pledged to derail the latter’s bid for mayor.
About 90 minutes after the protest, several white supporters of BLM joined in the condemnation during Tuesday’s tense City Council meeting.
The activists, 34-year-old Lexis Figueroa, his sister, 25-year-old Chandler Hickenbottom, both of Saratoga Springs, and brother-sister duo TJ and Samira Sangara, 19 and 23, respectively, of Clifton Park, reacted strongly to the officials’ statements about a recent street brawl that resulted in a stabbing and gunshots fired.

We were dismayed to read remarks attributed to Saratoga Springs Assistant Police Chief John Catone and Commissioner of Public Safety Robin Dalton in the article “Officials blame violence on racial justice advocates,” June 29.
A small group of us, mostly older white folks, have gathered every week since last fall in front of our church in downtown Albany to hold a vigil for racial justice. Our signs, in the spirit of the peace of Christ, proclaim that “Black Lives Matter.”
