Black Lives Matter mural prompts 5 police officers to sue city
Palo Alto Daily Post (California) ^ | July 7, 2021 | Daily Post staff (Not AP)

Five Palo Alto police officers are suing the city for permitting a Black Lives Matter mural, with a strong anti-police theme, to remain last summer on Hamilton Avenue in front of City Hall.

The five officers say the mural constitutes discrimination, harassment and retaliation.

In the heat of national protests over the killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis, City Council authorized the painting of the mural at a June 15, 2020 meeting. In the next two weeks, a group of activists painted the 245-foot long mural in the street.

Good. Time to take it back to the screaming crazies.

What would they say if we paint “Trump Won” on El Camino in front of Stanford?

In the letter “E” of the street mural in front of Palo Alto City Hall, Oakland artist Cece Carpio painted the likeness of Assata Shakur, a convicted cop killer from New Jersey who escaped from prison and is believed to be in Cuba. Post photo.

In our local area we have folks that will do donuts in their cars leaving unsightly big black tire marks in the street. They take over areas of the street and do this for hours on end.

Hmmm....

Palo Alto is worse than Oakland and they'll bend over and take it while on their knees.

They just have more money, higher real estate prices, and more hubris than Lucifer.

If you're a cop and you want to fight City Hall, you've got to remove turncoats and informers from your ranks before you try, or they'll frame you.

Agreed but the democrat voters make it close which allows the amount of fraud to be plausibly deniable.

Sue them for a hostile work environment. It's one thing if criminals act up, it's another if city officials, on the clock, do it.

At a minimum, every city official who contributed to the hostile work environment needs to be fired just as if they were in a civilian company.

I believe that is one of the main tenants of the tort.

It's pretty much prima facie.

I’m familiar with the Fair Employment & Housing Act. Despicable as the officials’ conduct is, this suit is DOA
