Letter: Send that mural artist down the road
The eye of the beholder sees beauty, art and junk in its own way. To my eye, this police mural is neither beautiful nor art. As for a theme, I am lost. I would have to have that explained.
If I were to commission a mural for the Madera Police Department I would use the 3-D effect on the ol’ Daylight passenger express coming through with a policeman standing next to his Harley, whistle in mouth and a hand raised protecting children from getting too close.
That would mean something to me.
Maybe this artist should take the words of our new president to heart when he talked of personal responsibility and sacrifice. Don’t know for sure, but I bet he voted for him.
Tell him his work is unacceptable (the truth) and send him down the road, thank you very much.
Bill Hoffrage,

To tell you the truth.. the proposed police station mural truly does not look good. It looks bad and out of place.
