MARTINEZ, Calif. — Police are investigating after a couple was filmed painting over a Black Lives Matter mural on a street in front of the Contra Costa County courthouse, KNTV reported Sunday.
The couple was shown painting over the mural with black paint, hours after the city had given activists permission to paint the words “Black Lives Matter” on the street, the TV station reported. Similar murals have been painted on streets in Washington, D.C., and New York.
In a video, the couple is seen arguing with activists and saying that all lives matter and police killings are a consequence of resisting arrest, KNTV reported
Activists recorded the license plate number of the truck the woman and man were driving, and the Martinez Police Department is investigating, the TV station reported.
