DC's 'Defund the Police' mural destroyed

[VIDEO] Washington, DC had calmed down over the course of the past month with the initial unrest back at the end of May. It seems that Mayor Muriel Bowser was all in on Black Lives Matter enough to not only allow a mural painted on that street, but to change the name of that street formerly 16th Street to Black Lives Matter Plaza.

I saw live video from DC during the month of June from Breitbart where it was shown on Facebook. And I believe it was at the height of protests over statues and monuments around the country - this isn't about any past wrongs I think it's about "erasing history". Those who want to tear down our statues wants to rewrite the story of America in their own twisted image.

Either way this live feed showed how out of control the anti-police people really are. I don't think they care about justice for a segment of the population. I think many of those individuals who were walking up to police to antagonize verbally and occasionally physically have some severe mentald issues. It takes something to think its OK to abuse people, especially police officers and I have to laude those officers ability to take the punishment without reacting. I also recognize that police in many cities around the country have been effectively restrained by their Democrat run city gov'ts.

Either way Tim Pool talks about what's going on in DC. I didn't know that in addition to painting Black Lives Matter in 16th Street which is not far from the White House there was a message of Defund the Police on 16th Street also. Well recently Mayor Bowser has paved over the Defund the Police portion of that mural. Pool connects this to former VP Joe Biden's pick of Sen. Kamala Harris as his running mate. They probably are starting to figure out how this defund the police message just isn't playing well at all.

Mayor Bowser seems to get it, but it doesn't look like Seattle has yet.

I wanted to show you this video from the Daily Caller they showed this part of 16th Street being paved over. When I first saw it, I made the connection that the Defund Police portion was no longer visible as they showed how it looked when it was first presented and then afterwards. [VIDEO]

I just want to add in the time before his death Mayor Bowser took Congressman John Lewis to 16th Street to check out the mural. He was out there with a cane in his hand and of course a mask because there's still a pandemic going on people! Seemingly this was a very poignant photo op giving Lewis' background being part of the Civil Rights movement and more so since he's no longer with us.
