I responded on that thread thusly:
Fight it!Forward!What are the relevant percentages in the Buffalo PD?
The issue in NYC with the statue was a blatant attempt to alter a horrific and understandably emotional and patriotic event everyone had seen happen only a short time before ... a true attempt to alter the historic record.
Arguements about "art" and "cultural diversity" ring hollow against such a well know, heart felt and patriotic event.
The mural in Buffalo may not commemorate a specifc historical event and that is how they will try and get around it, claiming it is therefore only "art". Since it is in a public building and was probably paid for with public funds to some extent or another, I would speak to the actual makeup of the PD in Buffalo and petition the City to have it at least be accurate in that regard.
Good luck!
