BLM MURAL IN NYC DEFACED FOR 3RD TIME

-

NEW YORK: A “Black Lives Matter” mural painted on the street in front of President Donald Trump’s namesake New York City tower has quickly become a target for vandalism, defaced with bucketfuls of paint three times in less than a week. In the latest incident, two women were arrested around 3pm local time on Saturday after police said they poured black paint on the mural outside Trump Tower on Manhattan’s chic Fifth Avenue. Bystander video showed police officers surroundin­g one of the women as she rubbed the paint on the mural’s bright yellow letters and screamed: “they don’t care about Black lives” and “refund the police.”
