Police are looking to identify a white man and white woman who vandalized a city-approved Black Lives Matter mural in Martinez, California, on the Fourth of July.
The woman was caught on video by onlookers as she painted over the words “Black Lives Matter” on the street in front of the Contra Costa County courthouse while the man appeared to film her on his phone. Authorities are asking the public to identify the couple so they may be “held accountable for their actions,” Martinez Police Chief Manjit Sappal said in a Sunday press release. “The community spent a considerable amount of time putting the mural together only to have it painted over in a hateful and senseless manner,” the release said. “The City of Martinez values tolerance and the damage to the mural was divisive and hurtful.”
Sappal's release verified the video, which was shared on YouTube and an Instagram account called "Karens Going Wild." The Instagram post has more than 375,000 views, while the YouTube video has been seen less than 50,000 times.

“White” in the headline? Wow.
And once again, criminal government does nothing about rioters but then goes after a person trying to protect society.
JoMa
Funny how the authorities can suddenly go after vandals again. They must be taking a break from acting as praetorian guard for the mob.
It matters that it was defaced and it matters the color of the people who did it.
that’s going to be a very violent battle soon. Much more violent than we have seen.
Now where I live. Nobody at Manhattan has the courage to do anything. And BLM isnt coming to the South shore Staten island.
I’m figuring they will go too far into a suburban neighborhood near a city in the South or Midwest and all hell will break loose
Statues pulled down and thrown into the river is okay but deface BLM graffiti . . oh no no no.
Voltaire once wrote: “To find out who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticize.”
Insightful.
Where are the Big Bad Cops when the streets are filled with Blacks busting windows, setting fires, Looting Stores and tearing down public Statues? How about taking over downtown areas for weeks?
BLM is hateful and senseless
How is this not political speech?
Defacing the defacement...
That could get the life in prison these days, or something
akin to the death penalty from street (in) justice.
This has gone way past comical to absurd and I’d look
favorably upon some form of charges for felony level
injustice.
The world has turned up-side-down.
White Lives Don’t Matter
“Martinez Police Chief Manjit Sappal...” LOL, OK.
“Congratulations to George Floyd on being drug free for an entire month!”
More proof that our criminal politicians want a COMMUNIST REVOLUTION.
They’re coming for you!
They do to me!
So they don’t like it when their symbols are defaced eh?
