Deputy Chief Frank Bergen said Thursday evening that police are investigating it because it was mischief to public property and blocking Main Street East. Bergen's comments came hours after activists blocked Main Street in front of city hall and painted "defund the police" in bright yellow paint. City workers tried cleaning off the yellow lettering on Main Street West left behind by Black Lives Matter protestors on Thursday. Greg Dongen, a regular Black activist, led many of the chants through his megaphone while others occupied Main Street West. (Bobby Hristova/CBC) By 1 p.m., the painting on Main Street West was just about finished.
