In the wake of a recent protest against the eviction of a Rochester woman and her family that ended with several arrests, tenants rights activists are pushing for a universal eviction moratorium.
One of the people arrested was New York state Assembly member Demond Meeks. Meeks arrest was captured live on Facebook while he filmed officers at the eviction of Clianda Florence Yarde from her Glasgow Street apartment.
Dozens of police wearing what Meeks described as “riot gear” showed up to enforce the eviction. Meeks said the amount of force that was used to execute an eviction warrant during a pandemic is inhumane.
