Saratoga BLM held a press conference on the steps of Saratoga Springs City Hall Tuesday to express outrage over the killing of Tyre Nichols in Memphis and at the lack of progress in combating police violence closer to home. Lex Figueroa, one of the founders of the Saratoga chapter spoke. Mr. Figueroa has been an outspoken leader who in recent months has been exonerated of excessive charges from the Saratoga police department stemming from previous police brutality protests.
