Lou, I just viewed the crosswalk painting on 101st Street and came away disappointed. I was expecting something along the same designs that were done on River and Jay Streets. Although there are designs of fish there is also the social justice key words such as "struggle". "perseverance" and others which is perfectly acceptable and some sound advice.. However there is also the word "RESIST". Now lets not fool ourselves, the same group that painted this mural is also the same group that has produced the edited anti-cop videos and have been a driving force in the divisiveness that grips this city under your watch. In a time when the police are asking for cooperation from the residents affected by the violence in that very neighborhood you have authorized the painting of "RESIST" which will give credence to the current 'snitches get stitches' attitude. I never expected to see a term like "personal responsibility" but I'm just baffled by this lack of scrutiny on the part of city hall. Thanks
