Except that's not what the painting is about.
The painting, by recent high school graduate David Pulphus, depicts a scene inspired by the 2014 events in Ferguson, and other recent protests against police led by African Americans.
So yeah it kind of is, and as such it presents a very one sided perspective. To say there are no issues would be ridiculous, there are aplenty, but all parties need to take ownership, unless the goal is to further drive a wedge in the community.
But I'm fine with it, it sends a message however maybe not quite what those who placed this on the wall intend. It represents our society in so many ways.
