Summary

Media data and Non-free use rationale
Description	Picture of Frank Romero's painting Death of Rubén Salazar (1986) at the Smithsonian American Art Museum in Washington, D.C., in 2022. A brightly colored painting of a group of uniformed police officers shooting some sort of explosive onto the roof of a bar in Los Angeles. The entire street block is rendered, including a neighboring theater and several cars on the street; all the signage on the street is in Spanish. The painting is an altered representation of the murder of civil rights activist and journalist Ruben Salazar by the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department in 1970; Salazar was killed after reporting on the Chicano Moratorium March in Los Angeles, when sheriff's deputies shot a tear gas canister through a bar window far from the protest, hitting Salazar in the head and killing him instantly.
