After five-year legal battle BY BRADEN CARTWRIGHT Daily Post Staff Writer
A Court of Appeal yesterday sided with the city of Palo Alto over six police officers who said a Black Lives Matter mural in front of City Hall made them sick. “Nothing in the mural explicitly embraces any racist or harassing message,” Justices Cynthia Lie, Adrienne Grover and Charles Wilson said in their decision. The police lawsuit looked specifically at the letter “E” that included a painting of Assata Shakur. Shakur was a member of the Black Panther Party who was OFFENDING LETTER — Six police officers said they became ill due to this mural. Post file photo.

Officers said Shakur is a symbol of racist hatred and asked City Manager Ed Shikada to take the mural down. Shikada told officers in an email that Shakur’s autobiography could “resonate with advocates for systemic change in our justice system” but the city “does not condone violence against our officers nor celebrate Shakur.” Shikada defended the art as free speech. “If it were an image of Vladimir Putin or another character, would we be expected to paint it over?” he said in an email to the [See MURAL, page 42]
Dems wrestle with gov options
The packed race for California governor has left many Democrats in the state wrestling with who to vote for in the race’s closing days. Though voting began in early May ahead of the June 2 primary, Democrats have been returning their ballots at a slower pace than normal after a chaotic campaign full of surpris-
