Syracuse Mayor Ben Walsh spoke about the protests saying:

Like other cities in the nation, Syracuse is the site of protests and anger tonight regarding the murder of George Floyd. I share their outrage and support the peaceful actions in which they participated during the afternoon and evening. Late tonight, some protesters became more aggressive and dangerous despite urging most of those involved. I ask all participants to stop any action that puts their safety and that of our City at risk and to dissolve. My commitment is firm to strengthen and improve relations between the police and the community and to ensure the fair application of the law in the city of Syracuse. We can emerge from this national crisis stronger than ever.
