The mural was painted onto the city street on July 9 on orders from New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio. The Democrat participated in the painting, along with his wife, Chirlane McCray.
“When we say, ‘Black Lives Matter’, there is no more American statement, there is no more patriotic statement, because there is no America without black America,” he said at the time.
Critics say the city should be focused on concretely improving the lives of minorities.
The “refund the police” remark by one of the women arrested Saturday was referring to the Black Lives Matter movement’s efforts to defund the police.
Lawmakers in the city recently slashed $1 billion from the NYPD’s budget.
The Lady’s name is Bevelyn Beatty. God bless her
About time....took em long enough.
And to have police guarding it with all that’s going is a joke. DeBozo is a joke...a bad one.
But, hey, it’s NYC.
ALL LIVES MATTER
Not just black lives.
Pass it on.
Some are more equal than others.
Leftists can vandalize at will.
Others are so equal.
Can’t be defaced enough
Block lettering is NOT a “mural.”
The media keeps trying to make people believe this is somehow “art.”
A mural is a painting on a WALL. This thing is a sign painted on a street. Calling it a mural is a way of lending it some artistic merit rather than recognizing it as a political slogan abusing a public space.
The most epic part of the video is where Bevelyn Beatty yells directly into the camera “Take back your country!”
Mural are by definition on walls. This is graffiti. And if you write on a busy public street, expect it to be “defaced”. It’s like a child’s chalk drawing on a sidewalk.
The outrage is that the city blocked off Fifth Avenue to protect this.
LOVE those girls!!
This woman with the paint, who is black, is likely smart enough to realize that Black Lives MatterTM is a corporation supported by white Communists with skateboards who are using black Americans to support their Communist cause.
God Bless her!
Please its NOT a mural, its a disgusting sack of crap its called Vandalism! Beverly Cleary is a HERO for pouring paint on that idiotic thing..God Bless her I’d send in money to pay for her bail
All generalizations are false including this one but judging from all that I have seen its the skinny white antifa scumbags that are pulling all this crap in the guise of “racism” and it’s the work 2 jobs and pay the bills blacks that see through the BS via their common sense and life experience.
The mural should never have happened. Blassio is supposed to represent ALL the people of the City. It’s just wrong.
Murals are on walls.
The sign is propaganda placed on the street by Communist Mayor De Blasio. The mayor has no problems with BLM destroying businesses, and attacking the police, but objects to his propaganda being defaced.
What cost more. The businesses destroyed, the injured police, or some smeared paint on his propaganda piece?
