(2,193 posts)Police said in a statement Sunday that a white female painted over the mural as a white man made comments to onlookers.
"It appeared that the couple came to the mural with cans of paint and a roller with the specific purpose of vandalizing over the mural," the Martinez Police Department said. "The community spent a considerable amount of time painting this mural only to have the suspects destroy it by dumping and rolling paint over part of the message."
Once police were notified of what happened, the suspects were gone, the department said.

Police describe the suspects' car as a Nissan pickup truck with the word "NICOLE" on the right side in silver lettering.
The truck's license plate is "52701B1."
"The City of Martinez values tolerance and the damage to the mural was divisive and hurtful," police said. "Please help us identify those that are responsible for this crime, so they can be held accountable for their actions."

(37,748 posts)Meritless and somewhat irrational, but I certainly understand the visceral, if petulant, satisfaction it allows you.

MARTINEZ, Calif. (BCN) Rachel Deikman on Saturday took her two young children to a real-life civics lesson, helping paint the words Black Lives Matter on the street in front of a Contra Costa County courthouse in downtown Martinez.
Our town will not be deterred, and such hateful acts will only coalesce us as the kind and forward leaning community we are, Ross wrote on social media the day after the fliers were reported.
Getting the street mural approved so quickly, Gomez said, is further proof the city is committed to addressing the issue.
As of early Sunday afternoon, the one block of Court Street was still blocked off, the mural intact, now surrounded by dozens of chalk images.
