In recent days, someone has added stickers on the sidewalk bridge outside Village View along First Avenue... paying tribute to the unarmed black men and women who died at the hands of police across the country in recent years.
EVG reader Elissa, who shared these photos, estimates that there are nearly 200 stickers (some of the names repeat) on this stretch between Second Street and Sixth Street...

Hope those folks included locals: Michael Stewart, murdered 9/15/83 - Grady Alexis, murdered 5/6/91...
Simple and powerful.
Great Idea Thank You to who ever did this
Sadly the list of these names will keep growing over time until there is genuine reform of the police. That means privatizing them and truly holding them accountable, which is not the case now. Government-run organizations can do whatever they want and get away with it.

So what are you--an Anarchist or a criminal, a nixoniste?
Overly simplistic, Bill. The world is much more complicated than that. If you really want anarchy, visit Somalia.
