Spray-painted on the mural were the acronyms “ACAB” and “FTP” which are two anti-police slogans, as well as a symbol used by anarchists. Late Sunday, the artist responsible for the mural removed the graffiti.

FOP President John McNesby tweeted Sunday morning saying they were aware of the issue and are working to get it fixed.
