Five officers recently sued the city of Palo Alto, claiming it permitted a Black Lives Matter mural depicting anti-police images representing harassment and discrimination against law enforcement.
The mural was painted in June 2020 in the road across from City Hall after George Floyd’s death and was to remain for up to a year. However, it was gone by November, the Associated Press (AP) reported Thursday.
One of the images was Joanne Chesimard, also known as Assata Shakur, who was convicted in the 1973 killing of a New Jersey state trooper, the lawsuit filed in Santa Clara County Superior Court said.
