Joseph Brandlin, who has lived in El Segundo for more than four decades, says he took matters into his own hands after months of trying to get the city officials to address safety concerns.
Ok let’s change the headline up a bit:
California father arrested after erasing crosswalk paint and taking down stop signs from near the children’s park.
A city representative said officials reviewed the intersection after receiving concerns from Brandlin and determined it did not meet the requirements for a four-way stop but added pedestrian striping to improve safety.
Brandlin spent about $1,000 of his own money on commercial-grade materials, including 30-inch reflective stop signs matching the other ones on the street. He began installing them himself to replace the yellow posted crosswalk signs on the intersection in the early morning of March 14, according to the El Segundo Police Department.
Police arrested him around 1:30 a.m. while he worked on the second direction of traffic. Brandlin said the arrest was excessive, saying he was cited with multiple charges, including felonies.

What good does changing the headline do?
OG says repaints
New one would say essentially removed paint.
Changes perspectives.
There are rules in place and he should’ve followed them vs defacing public property.
That is not what the article describes at all.
People should not be misusing public property in contravention of the law.
