Local activists are faulting the Albany Common Council for tabling a bill that would ban tear gas and rubber bullets.
The Center for Law and Justice, All Of Us and Youth FX joined forces to host a virtual discussion Thursday. The Power of the People session followed a meeting where the Albany Common Council tabled Local Law C by a vote of 9 to 6. Approved in March by the Public Safety Committee, the law proposed by 9th Ward Common Councilor Judy Doesschate would have banned the use of tear gas and rubber bullets with the exception of a hostage situation.
Bhawin Suchak is Executive Director of YouthFX.
