Police reports didn t mention that a Forest Grove cop was enraged by BLM signs at a home he allegedly attacked.
Part 3 of a series
First he kicked the truck with #BLM painted in white letters on its back window.
Next, he pounded on the large Black Lives Matter flag hanging against the garage door.
Then he tried to attack the woman who d displayed those messages, which became prominent after high-profile police killings of African Americans.
To Mirella Castaneda, the victim, it s clear Black Lives Matter was what sparked the anger of the stranger who attacked her property.
Her house appears to be the only one on Steven Teets s route home from downtown Forest Grove that displayed numerous large Black Lives Matter messages five if you count the one on the giant flag, another painted on her Ram pickup and three more on her Toyota 4Runner along with a smaller-print yard sign listing Black Lives Matter among other human-rights slogans.
