The mural, painted on a wall at Taunton High School, has been there for years.
The mural was designed to support police officers. But now, there’s a petition to take it down.
While members of the Taunton Diversity Network don’t know who started that petition, the group is supporting it.
“The negative vibe is not the support of the police,” said April Cabrera Funches of the Taunton Diversity Network. We fully support the police department and the work that they do. We do know there are, we talk about it all the time, that there are some bad apples. But lately, that flag has been used to really promote and support white supremacy.”
