ANN ARBOR, MI — The last “Neighborhood Crime Watch” sign in Ann Arbor is now removed.
City officials gathered on Princeton Avenue on Tuesday, April 21, for the ceremonial removal of the final sign after weeks of work to remove hundreds of similar signs.
“It’s great to see the last of these relics of the past come down,” said City Council Member Jen Eyer, D-4th Ward.
Eyer joined Mayor Christopher Taylor and Council Member Cynthia Harrison, D-1st Ward, in lifting it out of the ground to be hauled away and recycled.

They’ll be eventually be replaced by signs for “The Committee For Defense of The Revolution”.
So they’ve succumbed.

Yes, because we all know black people love having their houses robbed.
these people are crazy and deranged
In other words the left is explicitely encouraging the minority underclass to go into White areas and break in, rob, steal and rape.
I know I feel better now.
The Committee for Public Safety To be followed just like the French Revolution by the inevitable Reign of Terror.
It’s A²...they’ve been on planet loon for decades.
The defund the police, restorative justice, anti stand your ground/castle doctrine, and gun control is all an effort to facilitate and incentivize blacks to prey upon Whites, Asians, Hispanics, and Jews.
Blacks prey on each other more than they do on whites.
Given this, I'm sure the Gun Free School Zone signs are coming down next.....
““It’s great to see the last of these relics of the past come down,” said City Council Member Jen Eyer, D-4th Ward.”
Yeah moron......its right up there with “Whites only” signs on water fountains.
Great example of perpetually offended SJW woke idiots....and the muggings, rapes and murders will continue on schedule. 👌
SPLC-funded “research” produces the “results” that the SPLC and DOJ JustUS funding wants.
Neighborhood watch groups may get replaced by secret protection societies.
