Yahoo News ^ | 10/7/20

Police have asked the public for help identifying multiple drivers suspected of intentionally defacing a Black Lives Matter street mural in Springfield, Massachusetts, in September.

The Springfield Police Department shared several videos of drivers doing burnouts and leaving tire tracks on the words, which are painted near the Springfield City Hall.

Police said they have been investigating one incident from September 14 and two from September 20.

The Springfield Police Department said it requested a criminal complaint, with felony charges of defacement of real or personal property, for a suspect involved in the September 14 incident. Police said they were still investigating the other incidents. Credit: Springfield Police Department via Storyful

Video at link. This is terrible! OH, THE HUGE MANATEE!! /sarc Technically, doing burnouts on public streets can be considered reckless driving. The drivers should've covered their tags. Is the paint used NHTSA compliant for skid resistance? OR does it get slicker than owl s**t when it rains? I can envision a YYYUUUUUGGGE lawsuit if that wokeness crap causes a bad accident.

I know Spfld cops. The headline makes it sound like hundreds of people searching every for clue. In reality, I think they asked, like three people and put an ad in the Reminder.

If I ever see black lives matter painted anywhere I vow to place an “O” in front of lives.

“with felony charges of defacement of real or personal property

Overcharged, who painted the mural? Who’s personal property is the street?

Be a real shame IF someone dumped about 50 gallons of human feces all over it...real shame.

Many few years ago I set my scanner on the Springfield police channels.

It was a total war zone—a crime every thirty seconds...blacks victimizing other blacks....doubt it has changed much today.

It’s not a defacement, it’s a mural, you know, art executed on a wall, from the Latin murus. Now how drivers managed to do doughnuts on a wall, I don’t really know, but it does sound reckless.

The “protections” for BLM are rooted in racism — those pandering White a-holes truly harbor the bigotry of low expectations — the only reason BLM is elevated to an unconstitutional stature.

One of many reasons not to vote for RATS anytime.

If it’s so precious, maybe they shouldn’t have stuck it in the middle of a road where traffic drives over it 24/7.

Who else is looking forward to the day when Black Lives Matter joins the historical ash heap of worn out web memes like Harambe, Grumpy Cat, and All Your Base Are Belong To Us?

Mass is a cesspool of leftists as are ALL NE states. President Trump universally praises all Police but, not ALL police are universally worthy of praise.
A great many are as Leftist as are their constituency. Thugs, who are as much in favor of Gov’t Thugaucaracy as any Leftist Politician.
And, this goes for many cops in many Leftist cities and states. They are comprised of cops who want to be eaten last, corrupt cops or, cops too stupid to realize they are targets and no politician will back them when the MOB comes for them.
So many have realizedthat their profession is under attack by Leftists in their Leftist enclaves and they don’t know what to do. The sad part is the majority of them VOTED for the people that now want them dead.

Fun Fact: You’re punished more than you would be for intentionally spreading HIV in California.

It was just a peaceful protest. What’s the big deal?

I would imagine that the police are looking for the culprit as hard as OJ is looking for the real killer.
