Black Lives Matter Rally in Syracuse Renews Call for Police Reform

Hundreds of people gathered once again in front of Syracuse City Hall Saturday renewing their calls for the city to implement the People’s Agenda for Policing.  A coalition of groups presented its demands a month ago, and two weeks later, Mayor Ben Walsh released a detailed timeline for his administration’s response.  But the activists call it a meek answer with too many conditions and empty promises.
