Police dragged away Christian activist Bevelyn Beatty, after she dumped a tin of paint on the ‘Black Lives Matter’ mural on New York’s Fifth Avenue. All week, activists have been dropping paint on the controversial mural.
Bevelyn Beatty is a black, conservative, Christian activist, and is not any stranger to controversy. She’s taken to the streets in Seattle to blast protesters and supporters of Joe Biden, she’s been handcuffed for protesting exterior Deliberate Parenthood in New York, and arrested for disrupting a metropolis council assembly on face masks in Florida simply two weeks in the past.
Beatty was in New York on Saturday, this time concentrating on the large, yellow ‘Black Lives Matter’ mural put down on Fifth Avenue by Mayor Invoice de Blasio final week. Beatty strode out onto the mural, spilled a tin of black paint over the letters, and chanted “Jesus issues” and “refund the police.”

As cops closed in on her, Beatty dropped to her knees to unfold the paint over the letters, as bystanders swore at her. “All of us won’t ever assist Black Lives Matter,” she shouted, as an officer slipped within the paint puddle and ended up on the ground.

Beatty was not the primary activist to take situation with the mural. Actually, she is at the very least the third this week. Two individuals had been arrested on Friday for sloshing blue paint throughout the letters, with the activists shouting “all lives matter” and the pro-police “blue lives matter.” On Twitter, would-be paint throwers utilizing the hashtag ‘#OperationPaintDrop’ vowed to vandalize the mural daily till de Blasio removes it. Some referred to as ‘Black Lives Matter’ a Marxist group.
Controversy has dogged the mural since its set up. President Donald Trump, whose Trump Tower stands on the identical road, stated that de Blasio’s choice made police “livid.” The cops truly guarding the mural are reportedly offended that they’ve been assigned to “babysit paint,” amid a citywide spike in crime.
