Apparently the Phoenix City Council didn't get the memo. 

BLM applied for a permit to paint one of their infamous murals in downtown Phoenix and was just rejected!

From AZFamily.com:

The Phoenix City Council has rejected a proposal to install a Black Lives Matter street mural in downtown Phoenix.

The mural was proposed by the Transportation, Infrastructure and Innovation Subcommittee. But on Sept. 1,  that proposal was withdrawn with no discussion or vote. Then, on Wednesday night, in a letter signed by Phoenix City Manager Ed Zuercher, the City said that "based on existing regulations governing allowable marking in the street, as well as overriding concerns with safety, risks, and federal guidelines for marking on streets, the City of Phoenix cannot accommodate your request."

The mural the organizers had proposed would have contained the words "Black Lives Matter." There would also have been paintings of civil rights leaders, including Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Cesar Estrada Chavez, and former United States Representative, the late John Robert Lewis.

New York City, Oakland, San Francisco, Minneapolis, Chicago and Tucson are some of the cities that have the approval or already have a mural in their city."
