White LIES matter.

Since NYC is so short of cash, why doesn't it sell street space like highway billboards?

Your police are children.

Why? Is there systemic abuse of our police? 🙄

... all lives matter. Stop it America. Look around you.

Good. If communist activist groups can vandalize the country, the police should and other groups should be able to as well.

I agree go for it, BLUELIVESMATTER

It’s hard for me to believe that y’all actually believe BLM. More fetuses are getting sucked out of black women than any other race and blacks are killing more black people than any other race. So Black lives should matter to other races just not blacks?

This 'Black Lives Matter' reinforces racism. Believe it or not. If we truly want to end racism. No voice should be louder than any. Let's end racism by burring the lines. No promotion of one race above the other. Unity means UNITY

All lives matter.......

Bloody bunch of sooks

BlueLivesMatter AllLivesMatter 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 Trump2020LandslideVictory

BLUE LIVES DONT EXIST!!

Once upon a time to be a police officer was a vocation it meant you wanted to protect and serve your community. It’s now become so political that being in law enforcement means you lose your morals and ethics. I served 10 yrs in a blue uniform. No matter what colour of your skin

But police are already treated better than humans? Like when a normal person gets murdered no one cares but when a cop gets murdered it's like taking a wank on the US flag that is burning

Great !

How do you paint a cop on someone neck

Hahahahaha!!! Dont you have any originality?

I want a “Marketers Lives Matter” mural too NYPDnews

The comments are hilarious. Who cares...let them paint a mural. Are we acting like this will change anyone commenting’s mind 🤷‍♂️

Arrest all the Graffiti artists defacing guverment and Private property.

Racists

Historically blue lives have been assumed to be part of the 'all' in all lives matter. That's not the case for black lives. 'Black lives matter' is a demand for inclusion in the 'all'; not a demand that any other lives be excluded. Inclusion is not an either/or proposition.

Oh fuck that bullshit. I’m tired of people trying to play the “both sides“ argument. I’ve never seen such a bunch of whiny ass bitches. Haven’t they figured out that the community does not support them? They’ve lost the respect of the very people they’re supposed to serve.Defund

Good

Stealing black folks ideas as normal!

I think Polish lives matter!

Who killing police

What's good for the goose, is good for the gander. By allowing one group to post a 'mural' and not another, NYC is playing favorites and setting themselves up for a huge lawsuit.

The police officer cries out as he strikes you

A mural of them shooting a black man?

Good idea !

Long as this is a DEMOCRACY, we can have blue lives and pink lives and green lives, all championing causes/signs. Doesn't change the basic premise...

Either is allowed a political slogan to be painted on a city street or it isn’t, same rules for everybody. If they don’t get the permit then we have an issue

You people are so embarrassing 😡

Ah hahaha GTFOH blue lives matter? You have the choice to be a cop and you can stop being one anytime you choose. But black folks are born black and although some black people try to deny their black, they are still treated no differently, especially the black cops who are lost

I support officers that protect and serve the community but not the ones that abuse power. Saying blue lives matter to counter Black Lives Matter is like saying your ok with police brutality and officers unjustly murdering people. I can support officers and BLM

Missing kids lives matter 460,000 kids reported missing in the US in 2019 alone

They have as much right as BLM!

Not until u stop harassing, beating up, and killing citizens.

Only fair right?

I guess they realised the All Lives Matter slogan doesn't quite express what they really feel inside.

Fair enough.

The blue murderers feel that their lives matter just as much as the black lives that they are murdering.

They can paint “all lives matter.” I am sure it has a wider support.

Black lives matter but the organization that has a black communist fist and obviously doesn't care about the violence happening on a daily basis is a political organization. You can't pick and choose who gets to protest. I support black lives and I support lawful law enforcement.

Hey y'all should watch one American news this weekend You guys can learn what real news agencies do you know cuz you guys are propaganda You don't understand how news works but it's about Joe Biden and a Barack Obama corruption files money laundering to Biden's son through China

Looks like baby drama My sister have this so i want thé same nananère

So honestly, do police groups want to paint 'Blue Lives Matter' to assert that message or is it just to say Fuck You to 'Black Lives Matter?'

That might be seen as support for the Democrats after the police already gave their support to Trump. Would red do?

Brutality against people of color. You’re famous for murder and you don’t like it. Every persons life matters, not because of your chosen profession but because we were all created equal. Treat us as you would want to treated

There is no such thing as a blue life. If they don't like the harassment that comes with being a cop they can just quit. Black people can't quit being black

Ehh

🙄

Maybe the problem is the fact that police officers feel the need to separate themselves from the rest of American citizens with statements like this one; that their 'profession', as 'police officers', somehow makes them different, or their job, from the rest of society.

So fair

That shall be okay.

Restaurant staff lives matter! Until I change jobs. Then that occupation lives matter!!

Fair is Fair....

all political views should get murals now. whats the problem?

how about they give up qualified immunity in exchange for the mural. because right now blue lives DO matter - and matter more than any other color.

Right on.

BEING A POLICE OFFICER IS A JOB. IT'S NOT COMPULSORY.
