DC police make arrests for 'defacing private/public property' (no, not rioters or statue vandals -- students writing a sidewalk chalk message outside a Planned Parenthood)

After all that the nation has seen happen in Washington, DC and other cities around the U.S., some arrests are being made — but now it has nothing to do with rioting or vandalizing and toppling statues:

BREAKING: MPD arrested pro-life students for writing “PREBORN BLACK LIVES MATTER” in chalk outside a DC abortion clinic. MPD tells me the students were arrested for “the Defacing of Private/Public Property.”

Considering what’s happened in DC for the past few weeks, the “priorities” on display here are something else.

People are allowed to make large murals on streets with PAINT, but you can't write the same wording with one additional word "preborn" with CHALK without getting arrested. ?? https://t.co/aCTp056LQK

There seems to be something well beyond a double standard here.

So only some people can express their opinions on the sidewalk. https://t.co/1whnQjI2iI
