    The DC Mayor had Black Lives Matter painted in the street.

    Next to it activists painted DEFUND THE POLICE.

    Did the mayor force the police to stop traffic while activists were allowed to paint the streets with DEFUND THE POLICE graffiti?

    Imagine if a right wing group tried to write
    THE DC MAYOR NEEDS TO BE RECALLED in the street for having the National Guard removed from their HOTEL after working all night defending the city.

    Do you think that would still be there today?

    We all know whoever wrote RECALL THE MAYOR would be vilified on the national news and it would already have been removed. The DC Mayor would also want whoever wrote it to be prosecuted if she could find a cop to make the arrest.

    The left calls for equal justice.
    Well equal justice works both ways.

    I don’t see equal justice in the media or by the one sided politicians on the left.

    That is stupid emotional thing to do and does nothing for the cause of stemming police brutality.

    I agree, but don’t you think it should be removed?

    I think both the BLACK LIVES MATTER mural & DEFUND the police should be removed.

    The mayor is setting a terrible example by promoting a group like BLACK LIVES MATTER.

    I do not agree with the implied message that term sends " Black Lives Matter". To me I see it as saying "ONLY BLACK LIVES MATER".

    I agree & to the BLACK LIVES MATTER crowd saying ALL LIVES MATTER is racist.

    Remember that question in the 2016 democratic debates? Bernie Sanders buckled when asked ... do BLACK LIVES matter or does ALL LIVES MATTER....

    Sanders answered .... BLACK LIVES MATTER as a good little lemming.

    Since when do we paint political slogans on streets? Should we also paint “MAGA” on some streets?
