Five Officers Sue The City Of Palo Alto Over Black Lives Matter Mural Featuring Convicted Cop Killer

Five Palo Alto police officers are suing the city over a Black Lives Matter mural painted in front of City Hall last summer, saying it contained anti-police images that resulted in harassment and discrimination against law enforcement.

“Law enforcement officers, including Plaintiffs, were forced to physically pass and confront the Mural and its offensive, discriminatory, and harassing iconography every time they entered the Palo Alto Police Department,” the lawsuit reads.

At issue are two specific items.

The first problem involves the second letter ‘E’ in the 16-letter Black Lives Matter mural, which featured an image of Joanne Chesimard, a convicted and escaped cop-killer also known as Assata Shakur.

Shakur was named to the FBI’s Most Wanted Terrorists list under Barack Obama in 2013.

She was convicted in the 1973 killing of a New Jersey state trooper, but later escaped from prison and fled to Cuba.

Former President Donald Trump was very outspoken about having her extradited back to the United States during his time in office.

By contrast, Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) sent a personal letter to Fidel Castro apologizing for a vote she took demanding Shakur be extradited.

In the letter, she refers to the cop killer as nothing more than “a political activist” who was fleeing “political persecution” and said that Castro was right to grant her “political asylum.”
