President Trump called New York City’s decision to paint ‘Black Lives Matter’ on Fifth Avenue a 'symbol of hate.' His comments drew swift condemnation from New York City police reform groups
President Donald Trump on Wednesday called New York City’s decision to paint ‘Black Lives Matter’ on Fifth Avenue a "symbol of hate," rebuking his home town's embrace of a rallying cry that has stirred nationwide protests against racism.
“This will further antagonize New York’s Finest, who LOVE New York & vividly remember the horrible BLM chant, ‘Pigs In A Blanket, Fry ‘Em Like Bacon,’” Trump wrote. “Maybe our GREAT Police, who have been neutralized and scorned by a mayor who hates & disrespects them, won’t let this symbol of hate be affixed to New York’s greatest street. Spend this money fighting crime instead!”
The painting of Black Lives Matter on Fifth Avenue follows the passing of the city’s budget in the early hours of Wednesday morning. While thecuts funding to the police department, reform activists were unhappy and said the reductions did not go far enough in reducing the NYPD’s role in the city.
