Phoenix says no to street murals. Hate groups like BLM now threaten to sue.
Phoenix has decided not to allow a “Black Lives
Matter” mural to be painted on a downtown street after receiving another
request for a pro-law enforcement mural.
The city doesn't currently allow street murals but was considering launching a pilot program that would allow for them after activists proposed a mural with the "Black Lives Matter" statement The city denied the request on Wednesday, along with the other request for a street mural from Mark Spencer, a past president of the Phoenix Law Enforcement Association who is now southwest projects coordinator for national conservative group Judicial Watch.
Spencer requested permission for Judicial Watch to place a mural with the statement "No one is above the law," in all capital letters, in front of Phoenix Police Department headquarters on Washington Street in downtown Phoenix.
The hate group will be going to court according to their leader. Let's see how this plays out.
