Middletown Again Hit By Anti-Police Graffiti, In Same Area

MIDDLETOWN, NJ — Middletown has again been hit by anti-police graffiti.

The graffiti reads BLM and ACAB, which stands for Black Lives Matter and All Cops Are Bad or All Cops Are Bastards. Tags were also left reading "Smash Racism," F*** ICE and "Bootlicker."

The graffiti was left over the Labor Day holiday weekend on sidewalks and utility boxes near Howland Road, Tatum Drive, Pelican Road and Borden Road. These are some of the same streets where just two weeks ago, the same anti-police graffiti was found, at the intersection of Borden and Pelican roads in Oak Hill.

On Aug. 24, that graffiti was left that showed the anarchy symbol and FTP, which stands for "F*** the police;" the second tag read "We See U, Pigs" with a picture of an eye and the third read ACAB.

Also on Pelican Road, other residents said they saw "WLM 2," which stands for White Lives Matter, written in white spray paint.
