I agree with the protestors here: it's an appropriate and fitting tribute to them, perfectly capturing the essence of their movement

Seattle clears oy BLM “community garden” amid rampant homelessness, drug use and vandalism
Rats, crime and garbage — the BLM model.
Basically populated by druggies and ANTIFA thugs of both black and whites race, even black community leaders say good riddance:
Darrell Powell, president of the Seattle, King County NAACP said the garden was supposed to be a memorial to the Black lives lost to police violence.
Instead, he said, it has turned into anything but that.
“The Black community is unaware of the existence of the garden, and the garden does not represent any meaningful sense, the vast number of Black lives extinguished by police violence,” Powell said. “The Seattle-King County NAACP stands with Mayor Bruce Harrell and his administration in establishing a true representation memorializing the Black Lives lost due to police violence.”
[And] council member-elect Joy Hollingsworth … said parks should be maintained to be safe, clean and welcoming.
“Cal Anderson Park is the living room of Capitol Hill and a focal point of our city,” Hollingsworth said. “It’s important that we prioritize sanitary conditions within shared public spaces so that our neighborhoods can continue to flourish.”

A relative of one of the “martyrs” has also dismissed these criminal grifters, as well she should:
Some people were not aware there was a garden in remembrance of victims of deadly force by police, including Katrina Johnson, a cousin of Charleena Lyles who was shot and killed by Seattle police officers Steven McNew and Jason Anderson. [A killing that was found to be justified by a coroner’s jury, BTW]
“To make a garden without reaching out to the families and even letting them know about it tells me that this is not about our loved ones but about folks hijacking the movement and trying to make a name for themselves off of our pain and that is simply not okay,” Johnson said in a statement provided on the city’s website.
Councilman Hollingsworth, by the way, doesn’t sound like a MAGA Republican, but she seems to be fully aware of what white liberals have brought to the streets of Seattle.
