NEW YORK — A week after New York City painted a Black Lives Matter mural on a Manhattan street, groups associated with the pro-police movement Blue Lives Matter say they want one of their own.

Police advocacy groups Blue Lives Matter NYC and Standing Up for NYC have teamed up to call on NYC Mayor Bill De Blasio to paint a street mural near the New York Police Department headquarters at One Police Plaza, CNN reported.

The idea for a Blue Lives Matter mural was inspired by the Black Lives Matter mural that was painted on Fifth Avenue in front of Trump Tower, Blue Lives Matter NYC founder Joe Imperatrice told CNN, and would help bring attention to the dangers that police officers face every day on the street.

“I think it was a positive form of action which will give people from all walks of life an option to express themselves and bring to light issues we as a nation need to come together to fix,” Imperatrice said of the inspiration.

“The Blue Lives Matter mural would raise awareness for both the physical and verbal abuse officers endure daily. It would also be a way to remember our fallen heroes who have lost their lives defending their cities,” Imperatrice said. “Just as Black Lives Matter wants to bring attention to a subject, which they should, as are we.”

De Blasio approved Black Lives Matter street mural and he even participated in painting a small portion of it after President Trump tweeted that the mural would be “denigrating” Fifth Avenue.

NYC is cutting Police $’s by ONE BILLION DOLLARS, and yet the @NYCMayor is going to paint a big, expensive, yellow Black Lives Matter sign on Fifth Avenue, denigrating this luxury Avenue. This will further antagonize New York’s Finest, who LOVE New York & vividly remember the….

“President Trump said we would be denigrating the luxury of Fifth Avenue,” de Blasio said in response to Trump’s tweet. “Let me tell you: we’re not denigrating anything, we are liberating Fifth Avenue, we are uplifting Fifth Avenue.”
