Police on Monday were called in to investigate a case of ‘vandalism’ after someone covered the Black Lives Matter mural in front of Trump Tower with red paint. Why the anti-cop mayor didn’t call in social workers to conduct a feelings check instead of police isn’t yet known.
Mayor Bill de Blasio’s giant Black Lives Matter mural outside Trump Tower is already getting dumped on.
An unidentified man walked up to the giant mural outside the Midtown skyscraper and poured red paint on the bright yellow letters shortly after noon Monday, then ran off before cops showed up to survey the damage.
“I knew it was going to happen — there’s all this racist s–t going on,” construction worker Billy McCabe told The Post. “The mural shouldn’t have been done right in front of Trump Tower.”
The mural, announced by de Blasio earlier this month, has already become a flashpoint for face-offs between pro- and anti-Trump forces — including an ugly back-and-forth on Saturday.
De Blasio commissioned the mural last month, and on Thursday he was jeered by protesters as he helped paint the mural with first lady Chirlane McCray and the Rev. Al Sharpton.

To whoever vandalized our mural on 5th Avenue: nice try. @NYC_DOT has already fixed it.
