Two women were arrested Saturday afternoon for smearing black paint across the “Black Lives Matter” mural outside Trump Tower, with a city cop injured after he slipped while grabbing one of the suspects, police said. The chaotic scene—the third attack by vandals targeting the Midtown street art in a week—began around 3 p.m. when a car carrying four women and 10 cans of paint arrived at the Fifth Ave. site, according to witness/street artist Nina Khan and a photo of the vehicle. A video captured one of the two Black women involved in the incident pouring paint on the street,

Love it. FTA: “Refund the police!” the woman shouted as the cops moved in and an angry eyewitness shouted obscenities at her. “Refund the police! Jesus matters! Jesus matters! We will never support Black Lives Matter!”

Sounds like a peaceful counter-protest. Certainly didn't try to hurt the cop. I hope people are watching and demanding they are treated with the same leniency that the BLM/AntiFa/Anarchists are accorded.

Vandalizing monuments is okay.. .. but adding paint to street graffiti is illegal.

There sure were enough police on the scene going after her. I'm sure a few business owners who now have nothing, would have liked to have had their services on the nights their businesses burned. Of course the police don't bear the all blame for not being there during the riots and looting...and they didn't have to fear for their lives by removing these women today.
They did let her go on just long enough to mess up Di Blasio's art work.

How embarrassing for that poor cop! Lousy duty to begin with, and then to slip and fall so awkwardly. And be photographed by a news photographer. A cop’s nightmare! Then later the roasting at the station…. Poor guy!
Brava to those black - BLACK - women...

Finally, someone who is taking action and not just talking. She did more in five minutes than Hannity or Limbaugh have done in the past five years.

It’s good to see righteous Blacks against unrighteous bLACKS; makes more of an impact against BLM.

My only question is what the heck is wrong with that cop!!!! Why would he try to stop them?
If the BLM thugs can deface the streets, why are these women doing anything worse?

That's not a mural. That's a slogan.

I'm so confused. I guess some black people are more black than others.

Her best message was "Take your country back, take the USA back." Whew! A lady asked why the cops were arresting the young lady when it was okay for Blasio to paint the street. Some fool said Blasio was authorized to vandalize the street. Some black man followed them cursing them like crazy, with such hatred. The one girl told him he hates himself. The second girl told a cop that they were arresting people who support them, and she asked him if that made sense.

I still think the best way to deface the stinkin' thing would be to have someone drive a hot tar truck down the street around 3 am and spray the whole darn thing. Note ... take the plates and any id off the vehicle to avoid tracing and identify a get-away route with minimal camera coverage.

It is NOT a "mural". Words have meaning, and this is not a valid use of the word.

You can bet your last dollar that de Blasio ordered in the cops to stop the two black women from defacing his precious BLM mural on the street.

Apart from the policeman slipping in the Peaceful Protest, this is marvelous. Maybe there's hope for us yet.
