A mural was painted over Monday afternoon after Trenton police expressed concern that the painting, depicting Michael Brown, a Ferguson, Mo., teen who was fatally shot by police in August, sent the wrong message about community and police relations.
The painting depicted Brown’s face with the caption “Sagging pants … is not probable cause.” Will "Kasso" Condry, the artist behind the mural, said he wanted to start a conversation about racial profiling.
The Trenton Downtown Association elected to remove the image after hearing concern from police officers that the mural sends a negative message about the relationship between police and the community.

Bullsh*t Will. You want to add more lies to the racialists narrative, right up there with 'his hands were in the air in the universal sign of surrender'.
Indeed. It’s usually part of the description of the suspect.
Dang! Well, just will have to make do with second tier criteria such as having just robbed a convenience store.
Ironically the “Gentle Giant’s” romanticized likeness is painted on a door designed to keep people just like him outside.
LOL!
Don't Loot.
No, but trying to get a gun from a police officer and subsequently charging at him could very well be.
100% dead on the money DH.
Sagging pants is probable cause...for me to avoid a neighborhood.
Attacking a police officer in his car IS!
They forgot to paint the Nobel Peace Prize around the neck of Saint Swisher Sweets.
He would have won it too, if he'd opted for the "halo" version of the mural, also showing hands "in prayer" and eyes skyward.
