It’s funny to see cops feel threatened by a BLM mural.
“Five Palo Alto police officers have filed a lawsuit against the city and its police department, claiming they’ve suffered discrimination and harassment because of their opposition to elements of a BLM mural that the city commissioned last year.The case brings into focus the power of free speech and expression, and what should or shouldn’t be protected from scrutiny. In a civil complaint filed in Santa Clara County Superior Court, the officers claim they were “forced to physically pass and confront the mural” on Hamilton Avenue each time they entered the department. At issue were elements they consider to be offensive and discriminatory, including a portrait of Black Liberation Army member and FBI fugitive, Joanne Chesimard, also known as Assata Shakur, who was convicted of killing a police officer in 1973. She eventually escaped from prison and fled to Cuba,” per ABC 7 News.
Claims are no different than assumptions by cops who can’t use their privilege for certain things.
It’s just a mural.
