A group of police officers is suing the city of Palo Alto, California, for allowing a Black Lives Matter mural to remain in place for months after it was painted on a city street in June 2020.
City officials permitted and encouraged artists to create 16 different anti-police murals on city property that were placed together and spelled out “Black Lives Matter,” the officers said in the 12-page civil suit, filed in Santa Clara County Superior Court.
