As the mayor has said the city does have discretion as well on painting those projects,\u201d Trottenberg said.<\/p>\n<p>De Blasio has said the BLM protest movement \u201ctranscends any notion of politics\u201d even though he painted the most prominent BLM mural directly in front of Trump Tower on Fifth Avenue.<\/p>\n<div>\n<div id=\"slideshow-16077475-1\">\n<div>\n<div>\n                <img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"BLM painted outside Brooklyn Borough Hall\"  src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/08\/blm-de-blasio-mural-01-1.jpg?quality=90&#038;strip=all&#038;w=1024\" ><\/img><\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n                            Bill de Blasio helps paint a Black Lives Matter mural outside Brooklyn Borough Hall.                                                            <\/p>\n<p>Paul Martinka\n                                                    <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div>\n                <img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"BLM painted outside Brooklyn Borough Hall\"  src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/08\/blm-de-blasio-mural-02.jpg?quality=90&#038;strip=all&#038;w=1024\" ><\/img><\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n                            Black Lives Matter mural outside Brooklyn Borough Hall                                                          <\/p>\n<p>Paul Martinka\n                                                    <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div>\n<div>\n                Up Next\n                <\/p>\n<article target=\"_blank\"><a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2020\/08\/03\/mens-wearhouse-files-for-bankruptcy-amid-coronavirus\/\" tabindex=\"-1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\n                    <picture><source data- data- media=\"(min-width: 640px)\"  ><source data- data- media=\"(max-width: 639px)\"  ><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\"><\/img><\/source><\/source><\/picture><\/a><\/p>\n<p>                        <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2020\/08\/03\/mens-wearhouse-files-for-bankruptcy-amid-coronavirus\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><\/p>\n<p>            <\/a><\/p>\n<p>                Suit retailer Men\u2019s Wearhouse filed for bankruptcy on Sunday as&#8230;<br \/>\n                    <\/article>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>But civil liberties lawyer Norman Siegel predicted de Blasio\u2019s argument won\u2019t hold up in court.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOnce you open the door and allow Black Lives Matter murals to be on the streets of New York, you can\u2019t now turn down Blue Lives Matter.
