This is from a newspaper file photo of a riot in Richmond, Virginia in 1974. Dubbed the Rock and Roll Riot, the clipping reads: "Richmond, Va. April 27-- The Leaper-- Top of unmarked city vehicle gradually gives way under the onslaught of feet. Other cars were burned and over turned by mobs of rock music fans who rioted in Richmond City Stadium Saturday after drug arrests were made.

Todays painting is of a riot squad in France. I don't know what the situation was that needed the police but I sure love the colors that were created by the tear gas (I'm assuming thats what that is). I also like the way the colors ribbon across the picture, kind of like the French flag.
