A new posting says the Sandow Birk mural is going up soon in Boyle Heights. Looks like a lot of people from the community and from the LAPD are behind it now. So maybe its not all negative after all.... http://www.sandowbirk.com/publicartworks/lapd-station-boyle-heights/ I think you got it wrong.

It seems that when ignored communities get some attention they want it to be only "positive" or boosterism, as a sort of balance against the bad news of shootings and crimes that tends to be the main form of coverage. You need to have them both in order for it to be real, and from the little I've seen of the design and the description, I think this mural would have worked well in portraying the community. No doubt something safe and boring will be going up instead. Man, that is sad, I was looking forward to the Sandow Birk mural, it would have been something special.

In case you haven't seen it, he did a series of paintings and a mockumentary on the fictional Great War of the Californias. It's a must see! It’s too bad about Sandow Birk, I love his stuff.
