Police in Kirkland, Washington, said they're asking for the public’s help in order to identify who's responsible for damaging a Pride flag crosswalk that was unveiled to the community in early June.
Surveillance images of the incident at the entrance of Marina Park at Kirkland Avenue and Lakeshore Plaza were captured around 11:40 p.m. June 20, police said.

Police added that at least two people — who are suspects for the "crimes of reckless driving and malicious mischief" — were in the vehicle at the time of the incident.
Kirkland council member Amy Falcone said the new crosswalk, modeled after the Intersex-Inclusive Progress Pride flag, "symbolizes the value and beautiful diversity of all LGBTQIA2-S people. Symbols matter, and the installation of this crosswalk is one way that the city is working to create an inclusive and belonging place for all community members."
Some folks reacting to the police department's tweet about the incident are thoroughly mocking the investigation, as well pro-Pride sentiments in general:
