A mural paying tribute to victims of police violence was finished last night on the south side of the Red Poppy Art House. The artist behind the work, Yescka, painted the piece for an upcoming April 4th show of Mexican street art taking place at the Red Poppy.
The mural depicts Eric Garner, Alex Nieto, Michael Brown, and Amilcar Perez-Lopez.

Meanwhile just one block from Red Poppy (23rd/Shotwell) there are 6 gunshots in the middle of the night. One man wounded in the leg. Nothing in the news about it. Police violence is horrible but the truth is there’s gang violence out there too. Where’s the outrage that young men in the neighborhood are shooting people too?
Those guys aren’t being paid woth taxpayer dollars to serve the public. If you can’t understand the outrage, you either dont or won’t understand basic civics.
When is the “don’t point your taser that looks like a gun at random people during broad daylight and listen to the fucking police” poster going up?
When you have completed taking over the city.
In that case, i vote for Default.
I’m sure you already have.
