Baltimore officials passed a bill Monday to rename a Columbus monument located near a memorial for fallen police officers the “Police Violence Victims’ Monument.”

At the meeting, the Baltimore City Council voted 10-4 to approve the legislation, according to WBAL.

“The Columbus Monument obelisk is located in Herring Run Park and is in the same section of the park as a memorial for five Northeast District police officers who died on the job,” the report said.

In a statement Monday morning, Baltimore Police Commissioner Michael Harrison said he spoke with several council members regarding his concerns about the obelisk’s proposed name change:

Good. Then it can be defaced & torn down without any problems, right?

What’s good for the walking turds is good for we working folks.

Why can’t we set aside a few states for all these and other loons to move to and run and get them out of the hair of normal people?? We know the states where they do their damage and they are as predictable as the sun rising in the East....

Pretty much all the Police Unions are endorsing Trump, correct?

Meanwhile, you still have the Firefighter Unions supporting the Democrats.

Shameful.

I actually called my fire department about all this. The Dem signs say they are supported by “firefighters” along with a small union logo. So, the claim of being supported by firefighters is a lie, they are only supported by their corrupt unions.

Perhaps we can make a pile of skulls Monument like in Phnom Penh, Cambodia with each skull representing a murder victim by the hand of “teens”

“Why can’t we set aside a few states”

I have been saying that for years, perhaps states nobody are using like Connecticut. They would eventually be deemed racist and unfair when government mismanagement bankrupts the state while the leaders live in palaces

They should just designate an area called riot road and let the people get creative.

Baltimore has been thoroughly Africanized and is no longer an American city

Good, this should get Trump even more votes and check this out; Now the BLM terrorists are terrorizing the suburban soccer moms which even more votes for Trump. When Trump wins by the largest landslide in US history he should send BLM gift baskets with a thank you note.....

Hmm "victims" of police violence... Seems a certain segment of the population now believes anyone the police use force against is a "victim." Of course what isn't said is that 99% of the time the "victim" had it coming. What is not only not said but studiously ignored is that 99.999999999% of these "victims" deserving or not of the level of violence used against them are criminals. So this is a monument to criminals?

I can't bring myself to support tearing down a 230 year old obelisk. I could see that as political tides change, we can just start renaming things in both directions constantly. "Rabbit Season" "Duck Season"

Blacks murder blacks on average around 20 on a typical Chicago weekend and police are murdered in the line of duty much more also. It really is all about facts but the lies are the new truth.

So that we can see of what is being talked about;

Erected in 1792, this is (soon to be was?) the oldest monument to Columbus in the United States.
