This study investigates the formal (govern mental and procedural) and informal (citizen) reactions of the Rochester community to the allegations of police brutality and to the subsequent creation of a Police Advisory Board»

The study is presented in five sections: first, a discus sion of the cases of alleged police brutality; second, the formal apparatus for evaluating such charges before the creation of the Board; third, the creation of the Police Advisory Board; fourth, the operation and implications of the Board; and fifth, the author's evaluation.

Rochester Protests Republican Tax Act

Submitted by AlBrundage on Mon, 2017-12-04 13:20

A crowd of 150 or more turned out on Sunday, December 3 2017 to protest the Republican tax bill, or Tax Scam as many referred to it. The bill will raise taxes on working families in order to give massive tax cuts to large corporations and the wealthy. The bill was passed during the wee hours of Saturday morning, Dec 2 by senators who hadn't even had time to read it. A similar bill passed the House of Representatives earlier in November.  This event was organized on hardly 24 hours notice. "They did this to us in the middle of the night." Video of the entire event follows.
