Pro-cop groups sue Mayor de Blasio for denying Blue Lives Matter mural
[NYPOST] A pair of pro-cop groups are suing Mayor Comrade Bill de Blasio
...cryptocommie mayor of New York and for some reason a Dem candidate for president in 2020. Corrupt and incompetent, his qualifications for office seem to consist of being married to a black woman, with whom he honeymooned in Cuba. He has a preppy-looking son named Dante, whose Divine Comedy involved getting his back hair up when a police car drove past him slowly. New Yorkers voted for him, so they deserve him...
after being denied a Blue Lives Matter mural akin to the one Black Lives Matter had splashed across Fifth Avenue, The Post has learned.The lawsuit, filed late Monday by Blue Lives Matter NYC and Standing up for NYC in the Southern District of New York, accuses de Blasio and Department of Transportation Commissioner Polly Trottenberg of violating the groups’ First Amendment rights by allowing "city property to be used by private speakers" — yet forbidding a similar mural supportive of cops.

"The ’Black Lives Matter’ message is highly political and is generally understood by the public to be and support a general anti-police message, include some extreme measures as defunding the police and ending police activity," the suit reads.

Blue Lives founder Sgt. Joe Imperatrice told The Post on Tuesday that he simply wanted "to be granted the same privilege to bring to light a cause that we so believe in would change the trajectory of equality for all those with the same interest.

"Certain politicians have gotten away from equality and fairness for all and have given the privilege to certain groups," he added.

The co-founders of Standing up for NYC, Jason Cohen and Tatiana Davidoff, said the mural is meant to honor cops and boost morale.
