UNION CITY (BCN)
City officials denounced a "White Lives Matter" banner found Saturday morning near a busy Union City intersection and said that it was removed promptly.
The banner was found on public property, at the corner of Smith and Dyer streets, and a police report was filed after it was taken down, officials said.
"The city is disgusted by this despicable act of vandalism that has occurred on the heels of the insurrection at the U.S. Capitol last week and on the weekend of the Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday that celebrates the life and achievements of this important civil rights leader," a statement from the city read.
