Albany Mayor Kathy Sheehan has apologized on social media for comparing Albany protesters' actions this week to those of the people who attacked the U.S. Capitol in January.
Protests that spread across the country in the wake of the fatal police shootings of Daunte Wright in Minnesota and Adam Toledo in Chicago reached the Capital Region this week. Protesters marched across the city to the Albany Police South Station on Wednesday evening, and that's where police say they attempted to kick down the doors and broke a window. Protesters who were there, meanwhile, say police actions caused things to get out of hand.
