Police Seek To ID Man Who Peed On 'Black Lives Matter' On U-M Diag

ANN ARBOR (WWJ) - An investigation is underway in Ann Arbor after a white man urinated on the University of Michigan Diag where "Black Lives Matter" was written in chalk.

A woman named Kate shared the Snapchat video on Twitter, noting it happened near where a graduate student had just been kneeling in protest of police brutality just moments before. "Anti- blackness," she called it.
