Phoenix rejects Black Lives Matter, law enforcement murals downtown; lawsuit planned
TACOMA, WA - JUNE 03: A person holds a Black Lives Matter sign during a vigil for Manuel Ellis, a black man whose March death while in Tacoma Police custody was recently found to be a homicide, according to the Pierce County Medical Examiners Office, PHOENIX - The Phoenix City Council denied a request to install a "Black Lives Matter" street mural downtown after another group sought to create a pro-law enforcement mural in response."Based on existing regulations governing allowable markings in the street, as well as overriding concerns with safety, risks and federal guidelines for markings on streets, the City of Phoenix cannot accommodate your request," read a letter signed by city manager Ed Zuercher to the mural planner.
