NightSide - Banner to Stay

/ CBS Boston

BOSTON (CBS) - Somerville Mayor Joseph Curtatone said Thursday that he will not take down a Black Lives Matter banner that is on the front of City Hall, ignoring the request of the city's police union. The police union has asked to replace the sign with another that reads All Lives Matter. In light of recent violence, the president of the Somerville Police Employees Association calls the banner "demoralizing". Do you believe the banner should be switched? Is the Mayor correct in leaving it up?
