SPRINGFIELD, MA- The city of Springfield, Massachusetts has lost sixteen police officers in the line of duty, the most recent being the shooting death of Officer Kevin Ambrose on June 4, 2012.

Prior to that, the last two officers shot and killed in the line of duty occurred on November 12, 1985 when officers Alain Beauregard and Michael Schiavina died in the line of duty.

So, how does the city remember its fallen police officers? By approving a Black Lives Matter mural in which the letter “T” contains a depiction of the Blue Lives Matter symbol, surrounded by red dripping blood and skulls instead of stars. But it’s “not anti-police.”

Turtleboy Daily News, a blog that originates out of Worcester, Massachusetts discovered the mural. And it is nauseating.

This is the third go-around for Black Lives Matter murals in the Western Massachusetts city, best known as the home of the Basketball Hall of Fame and Bondies Island, the city’s sewer treatment plant which gives of an aroma befitting of the mural mentioned above.

The first mural, painted in the street in front of Springfield City Hall was defaced when a wanna-be NASCAR driver decided to burn rubber on it. That mural was in fact defaced three times. Think there is maybe a message there, not sure.

This time, they’re not taking a chance with anyone burning rubber on the mural—this time, they’re painting it on a building.

One of the “artists” painting the mural, Frankie Borrero said:

“I love working with the community, and as an artist this message brings the community together.”

Unless of course you are a police officer or support police officers.

Borrero and the other “artists” want to send a “powerful message” to those who damaged the first mural three times.

“This is just because we got no action on the defacing of the other mural, and we know that there is someone that’s known for defacing the first time,” bellowed Springfield City Councilor Trayce Whitfeld.

Each of the “artists” were given a letter which ends up spelling out “Black Lives Matter” to design and paint.

Borrero explained that he got the letter “T”, which he claimed “has put a balance, sort of like a scale, weighing out the justice system, the hand in the middle reaching out.”

Western Mass News reported that organizers of the vandalism, er mural want to see more action.

“We would like the mayor’s administration and the D.A.’s Office, come forward with that person,” Whitfield said. “So, we can maybe prevent or defer (sic) folks from coming down and doing that again in the future.”

The mural in front of City Hall on Court Street has once again been “repaired” and are hoping the new mural will “send a message to the community.”

The question is, who is paying for all of this? If you guessed the taxpayers of Springfield, you are probably onto something.

Turtleboy hit it correctly:

“…every time one of these politically charged, anti-police children’s drawings on public property gets ‘defaced,’ they’ll get more work. Because God knows they can’t create anything of value that someone would purchase on the free market. They are completely dependent on the government paying them to doodle on brick buildings.”

The “T” painted by Borrero is clearly anti-police imagery. The Blue Lives Matter imagery in the letter is obvious and using that imagery which is used primarily to honor police officers killed in the line of duty is the epitome of ignorance.

“We know all lives matter; I want to make that point clear. We know police lives matter as well,” she said. This isn’t anti-police; we need to create awareness for what’s happening to a lot of black people in the nation.”

Yes, we know…nine for all of 2019. True carnage.

Whitfield apparently made allegations of racism at the U.S. Air Force Academy in 2017 where she publicized of an alleged racial slur posted on her son’s dormitory door. The problem is, it never happened.

When she was contacted after the truth came out, she remained indignant.

“It’s still a slur—whether it was a white person or a black person who wrote,” she said. “My son still experienced it. We still experienced it.”

The below Twitter post was put up by “Bishop” Talbert Swan, a local anti-police zealot and proponent of defunding the police. Oh, and he also wants the city to establish a citizen’s review board, which would have disciplinary authority over the Springfield Police Department.

This is a local restaurant frequented by white police officers, where 14 cops were indicted for brutally beating four Black men.

This sign appeared in their window shortly after we staged a protest there.

It may as well say, “WHITES ONLY.” pic.twitter.com/Xf2bDhIxwA

The protest must have worked because they managed to shake down the business for $6,500 which was used for the vandalized mural on Court Street.

Mission accomplished.

We’ll leave you with this.  Watch the video below.  You’ll meet Kyle Ambrose.  He’s a police officer.  And his father was that officer we talked about in the beginning of this article… who was killed in the line of duty.

This is what warriors look like.
