Black Lives Matter protesters are processing last week's insurrection at the U.S. Capitol, where images of police showed less use of force towards pro-Trump rioters than previous BLM protesters.

Lexis Figuereo is a local organizer from the group “All of Us,” and he says the same disparities can be seen happening in his own backyard.

“You see it time and time again, and it sometimes gets discouraging,” said Figuereo.

Figuereo is still wearing bandages from last week's simultaneous pro-Trump rally at the New York State Capitol. That's where a fight broke out between rally-goers and counter-protesters, leading to a stabbing that sent two supporters of President Donald Trump to the hospital, police said. Figuereo says he was not part of the incident, but feels police are biased in arrests that involved issues surrounding people of color.

“I don’t feel good at all. I’m depressed and saddened by what’s going on in America,” said Figuereo.

“It’s a difference that we see everywhere in this country,” said All of Us organizer Shawn Young.

Recent data seems to support that claim. There were more than 300 BLM protestors arrested by Washington, D.C., police on a single day in June. Compare that to fewer than 70 arrests the day the Capitol was stormed by pro-Trump supporters.

An independent Albany police audit released in November revealed Black people are more likely to have force used against them during a police encounter. Of the nearly 22,000 arrests made over a five-year period in Albany, more than 65 percent were Black residents.

“When the cops have your back, it gives you the green light to do whatever you want to do,” said Figuereo on his view of why disparities exist.

Ongoing investigations by the FBI show off-duty police and fire officials from around the country may have participated in the Capitol breach. Black Lives Matter protesters said they’re not surprised.

“It’s laughable that now our politicians are scared, and law enforcement wants to scrub up and not be tied to what happened in D.C., but they have been tied to it,” said Mikayla Foster, another All of Us organizer.

They say exposure of biases among people sworn to protect and serve is a start, but should not be the end to policing equality.
