Missouri police stand guard as white people paint over Black Lives Matter mural with 'blue line'
Police in Missouri were seen blocking traffic for a group of white people who destroyed a Black Lives Matter mural.
An image shared on social media shows four people who appear to be white painting over the words “Black Lives Matter” with what was called a “blue line.”
In the image, police vehicles can be seen blocking traffic so the four people, who are in civilian clothing, can cover the mural.
According to KMOV, the Black Lives Matter mural was first painted by activists Friday night, but it was covered up by “city workers” on Saturday morning. Activists were said to have replaced the street painting later on Saturday.

It was a bit over a decade ago, my now-late uncle attempted to repair rifts in the extended family, telling us to put away our political, racial and geographical differences between, largely further western family members long "disowned" by the white "purists" on my mother's side of the family. She had committed the ultimate "sin" of eloping to California to marry my father, despite the relatively small amount of Native American blood rendered largely un-apparent except for our slightly darker skin tone, that did not pass as acceptable to great-grandparents who only seemed really fucking strange to me. I was just a toddler, not understanding why we had to be set at a separate table because we had the "bad blood". Later, I embarrassed myself at a doctor's appointment in front of my mother, bravely holding out my arm and asking the doctor to test my blood. "Gramdma said I have the bad blood" I embarrassed the devil out of my mom with childish innocence in front of the doctor. I was 5 years old.
So to visit with my uncle and take some arranged visits with family there, I rode my motorcycle to Missouri. I was greeted with open arms and welcomed by my late uncle. However, visits with other relatives who were notably watching FOX FUCKING NEWS at the time, didn't go so well. They acted like a walking disease was invading their home, scurrying the offspring to their bedrooms in case they might catch "the gay" from me. 
Regardless, he also got some of them to join me on Facebook.
Then President Obama got elected and all that went to shit. Family members who I politely asked to not post horrible, racist memes of our president at the time got vicious. Some simply de-friended me. But several others started on really targeted anti-gay rants. This and other RWNJ's from former travel employment made idiots of themselves on there.
I finally deleted my Face spook account.
I wouldn't be surprised at all if it weren't some of them out there painting over a call for fairness.
I'm more embarrassed than ever to admit that's some of my family.
I've never seen any wear clothing like that.
