Nice? A force widely known for practices like dumping indigenous people outside of town in the middle of winter is nice? You might not feel the same if they murdered or maimed your loved ones via a starlight tour. They have the same history of racist violence as any American police force.

I am sure I can find horrible things the Royal Canadian Mounted Police have done but one can not argue that in general the RCMP police in a much more light-handed manner than their counterparts south of the border. I would think they would have trouble with gang bangers and armed militias.

An unidentified man walked up to the giant mural outside the Midtown skyscraper and poured red paint on the bright yellow letters shortly after noon Monday, then ran off before cops showed up to survey the damage.

“I knew it was going to happen — there’s all this racist s–t going on,” construction worker Billy McCabe told The Post. “The mural shouldn’t have been done right in front of Trump Tower.”

The mural, announced by de Blasio earlier this month, has already become a flashpoint for face-offs between pro- and anti-Trump forces — including an ugly back-and-forth on Saturday.

De Blasio commissioned the mural last month, and on Thursday he was jeered by protesters as he helped paint the mural with first lady Chirlane McCray and the Rev. Al Sharpton.

Police said the assailant who vandalized the massive message Monday walked up Fifth Avenue at 12:13 p.m. wearing a black shirt and a black hat, dumped the paint, then ran down 56th Street, police said.

The blotch of paint, dumped between “Black” and “Lives,” was smeared over much of the mural by passing traffic.

“I wish I’d tackled him, but I’m old and fat so I didn’t,” said Paul Rossen, who wore a “Dump Trump” face mask and a BLM T-shirt and was selling anti-Trump merchandise nearby when the vandal showed up.

“I don’t like anybody blocking free speech, and even though I hate Trump, I would never think of vandalizing something pro-Trump,” he said.

Nearby, a man with a MAGA hat walked back and forth holding a sign that read, “The only time black lives matter is when they are shot by a white policeman or an Oreo cookie. Defend all policemen.”

“He shouldn’t have done it, but that shouldn’t have been there in the first place,” the man, who gave his name as Michael, said of the vandal and defaced mural.

REDWOOD CITY (KPIX 5) — Many communities across the country are displaying “Black Lives Matter” street murals. Redwood City was one of them until last week when the city quietly removed it.

Redwood City resident Dan Pease got permission from city officials to paint the “Black Lives Matter” sign on Broadway as part of a Fourth of July public art celebration. The city even supplied him with yellow poster board paint to do it.

“Because we were using the poster board paint that would eventually deteriorate over time, my understanding from them was that the mural would last as long as the paint lasted,” Pease explained.

But, last Thursday, the city washed the sign away after being contacted by local real estate attorney Maria Rutenburg, who said that if the street was now a public forum, she wanted a sign of her own reading “MAGA 2020.”

“I saw “Black Lives Matter” sign appearing on Broadway Street on the asphalt and I figured that’s gonna be a new public space, open for discussion, and I wanted to get my message out, too.” Rutenburg said.

magas have to RUIN everything they touch.

How exactly did they "ruin" anything? Is expecting all people to be treated the same, and not for some people to be treated better than\differently to others considered bad?

if you don't see what's the matter with this country NOW, there is no explaining it then. if you feel that mocking BLM is a good thing, then there's no explaining it. "expecting all people to be treated the same (and not for some people to be treated better)" is the very GD reason that BLM exists. if you don't grok that, there's no explaining it.

you STILL don't get it. BLM MEANS TREATING EVERYBODY THE SAME!! !

you STILL don't get it. BLM MEANS TREATING EVERYBODY THE SAME!! !

Back Lives Matter is a political movement with an agenda.

"to end white supremacy forever." one way or another, it's gonna happen.
