So... allocating an absurd amount of police force to protecting PAINT. That's not a mural. It's just some giant yellow letters on a road. It's easy and relatively inexpensive to create a new one, or repair it, if anything were to happen to it. How much does that much security cost per day? How long to they expect to continue watching those stupid letters? I mean, if I wanted to deface it, I'd just wait a month or two for the security to lessen, or deface BLM messages elsewhere.
Meanwhile, the number of murders, robberies, etc are record-highs in NY for any recent history. So, instead of protecting actual life and property, they're protecting a political message.
In other words, political power is more important than life or property.
Cops protecting a mural for a movement that hates cops. Wow the irony. And BLM wants to defund and abolish police, but it’s ok for police to protect THEIR mural?? This world has gone mad.
I like this idea, and artistically you could consider it part of the mural. You know, because everywhere BLM goes a bunch of police need to be called shortly after.
It's much worse than protecting a mural or giaant yellow letters on a road; it is using taxpayer-funded police, whose sole purpose is to maintain the safety of said taxpayers, to protect a racist slogan placed on public property and paid for by public funds.
Endorsing such actions violates a whole bunch of laws, and creates a public forum that entitles anyone and everyone to paint their opinions on public streets.
Government officials sent police to protect a political organization's message. I'm sure there's a crime in there somewhere.

Forever changed, we returned home and began building the infrastructure for the Black Lives Matter Global Network, which, even in its infancy, has become a political home for many. https://blacklivesmatter.com/what-we-believe/
Plus ActBlue, a DNC donator, collects their donations.
And they are still more factual about reporting the news in the US than our own MSM. Most of the time you will find news outlets outside the US reporting on American news do a better job than our woke media. Worth finding 2 or 3 that you are comfortable with and keeping them in your bookmark.
the daily mail (uk) used to be my "go-to" foreign source for u.s. news....but apparently they were subsumed by the kardashians, "the resistance" and uber british smugginess, and now reading their stories is unbearable....but they often had american news you didn't see reported in our msm and the comments were a great "finger on the pulse" of the current zeitgeist. watching those comments is how i knew prez maga was going to win....the shift in opinion over the months was amazing.
I fully admit I find it really weird that despite RT's origins, it is one of the more rational and conservative-friendly news agencies, has been for quite some time, and that I trust them more than 95% of MSM.
Per usual, I wouldn't stick to just one source, but they've been surprisingly above average.
I agree, but I still won't trust them blindly. Russia benefits from USA's misery, just keep that in mind. I wouldn't put it past them to amplify stories about current tensions in the country. Even if there is indeed tension, how do you know they aren't skewing you as well by only covering certain topics?
It would be a shame if cars suddenly came down with oil leaks, or maybe people who forgot to remove an open can of used oil near the wheel well before closing the hood.
Now if ever there was a job I was ok with police walking away from, THIS is it. Either that or they should paint it BLUE LIVES MATTER and forcefully defend it against any who try to change it.
Degrading the police and the public who support them is one of their goals. This is humiliating, just like the mayor in Portland telling the Dir of Homeland Security to take the feds out and they can go around cleaning up trash before they go.
New levels of stupid. Should be an easy assignment.
Nah. Send in Kramer with a 55 gallon drum.
Oh, good idea... his oil balloon thing...
Edit: Oops, Just remembered when he had that stretch of highway in his name.
Hey look at this... wide lanes! This is so luxurious. Oooh yeah!
That may hurt someone or explode in route. Drones w paint bombs would be epic. Only gotta blot out the first word
It's scampering right past stupid and running hard for insanity.

They should park police cars with flashing lights as a road-bock around the 'mural'.
Attracts attention, pisses of the locals who can't get by.
Maybe even post a sign ' By order of the Mayor, this precious BLM mural shall not be maligned."

Not a mural. It is paint on a roadway.
It identifies as a mural
It's an abomination.
All lives matter. Paint can be replaced.
I'm pretty sure social workers could handle this one - or the construction workers they assign to flip the "stop/go" sign during roadwork
What's De Blasto's thieving wife doing why can't she watch it?
So much for having social workers handle non violent calls or BLM being "scared" of the Police who just "executed a dying drug mule"
hahahah this story is really amazing hahaha
I would not protect a BLM Mural if my life depended on it✅
Hopefully it’s Jeff Epstein’s guards

pretty sick isn't it?
who would ever have imagined that RT would be the most accurate news network globally? (so long as you ignore their domestic news)
It’s because Russia is laughing at us right now. They see how weak we are and are covering it.
Yup, no need to create propaganda when the truth is more absurd.
We are a safe space for objective truth

Note that at the end, he writes "If true . . . "
it's in the title of the article too.
Seems like it shouldn't be too hard to verify. Don't we have pedes in midtown Manhattan?
I thought property wasn't worth protecting?
The fundamental problem with police is enforcing political motives instead of singular loyalty to their oath.
How far do paintballs theoretically shoot?
Police protecting a painted message that at it's essence calls for the death of police. Irony, stupidity, moronic, pathetic...... to infinity levels.
Dude so people are getting shot but let’s assign cops to fifth avenue to stand around
These cops are just protecting the black lives the Democrats believe matter.
It would be a shame if cars suddenly came down with oil leaks, or maybe people who forgot to remove an open can of used oil near the wheel well before closing the hood.
Has anyone sued the commie yet?
Paint thinner should fix that problem.
Why should a cop protect that waste of taxpayer money? All it is is an empty supplication to the same assholes who want to destroy them.
A mural is an artistic representation ON A WALL. This is more like chalk art.
Now if ever there was a job I was ok with police walking away from, THIS is it. Either that or they should paint it BLUE LIVES MATTER and forcefully defend it against any who try to change it.
Just piss on it and see how long this “duty” lasts...
It's not a fucking "mural."
Cops defending a mural of an organization designed to get rid of cops.... its like having fetuses guarding a planned parenthood.
I guess the cops can just phone it in on those days. If the mayor has a problem with no units there, tell him to suck their units.
Cops that support corrupt officials are corrupt too.. Blue lives matter but not corrupt ones.
honk honk
Degrading the police and the public who support them is one of their goals. This is humiliating, just like the mayor in Portland telling the Dir of Homeland Security to take the feds out and they can go around cleaning up trash before they go.
A mural is on a wall not a floor
