More BLM activists arrested in Saratoga Springs

Saratoga police have arrested two more people from the July 14 Black Lives Matter protest. They've already been released, but their fellow activists are not happy and held a press conference Thursday outside City Hall. A couple of the activists who were arrested spoke to reporters on Thursday. Many say they were upset with how police handled the situation Tuesday. That's when a couple of activists came to Saratoga police when they found out Lexis Figuereo had been arrested. Some activists learned that they were going to be arrested as well for their actions on July 14 when police say they blocked traffic. Some BLM leaders say police didn't communicate with them why they were being detained. Many say they didn't have access to water at first, or were not allowed to wear masks. Lt. Bob Jillson from Saratoga Police says he isn't sure why they weren't allowed to wear masks, but is looking into the situation. He also says police want to reach a compromise with the protesters.
