‘Defund the Police’ mural changed by pro-cop ‘vandal’: ‘Fixed it for you, folks!’
July 4, 2020 | Vivek Saxena |

Two can play that game …

In an ironic twist of fate, on Friday anonymous pro-police “vandals” “defaced” a “Defund the Police” mural outside Milwaukee City Hall.

According to Urban Milwaukee, the original mural was painted Wednesday “without any city permits” by a group of 30 so-called anti-cop “activists.”

But two nights later, it appears that a group of anonymous pro-cop vandals decided to give the left-wing “activists” a taste of their own medicine.

“The mural, which runs on N. Water St. from E. Wells St. to E. Kilbourn Ave., now spells out ‘Defend the Police.’ The ‘D’ is now painted blue, the first ‘E’ is covered and the ‘U’ has been replaced with an ‘E,'” Urban Milwaukee reported Friday.

An in an amazing display of irony, the original artists will call the police to report the 'crime'. I cannot to begin to describe how happy that would make me.
