Too specific[edit]

There are multiple noteworthy George Floyd murals. This article shouldn't be only about just one. Perhaps it should be rolled into a "Murals of George Floyd" article covering multiple notable murals. - 73.140.122.224 (talk) 17:15, 19 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I'd suggest updating Black Lives Matter art instead ---Another Believer _(Talk) 17:16, 19 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The article was moved to George Floyd mural (Portland, Oregon) as there are many murals of George Floyd in the United States and elsewhere in the world. This particular mural, with all due respect to the artist and community, is borderline notable for its own article, and it's not even close to being the most widely recognizable mural of George Floyd out there. I don't think the Portland mural has returned to public display. The content of this article could be streamlined and merged with Black Lives Matter art in Portland, Oregon or George Floyd protests in Portland, Oregon if the lasting notability of it is less significant.

With this large mural, and smaller placards outside the store, Apple groveled to the very people who looted their merchandise. It was criminal apologia of the Stockholm Syndrome type. Also, a pragmatic message to minimize further looting, practiced by other Portland businesses with easily-smashed windows.

As of late 2022, a tall metal fence still surrounds the downtown Apple store, resembling a wartime barrier. They know these same types are itching to riot again whenever the next cop "overreacts" to an "unarmed black man" (context is critical) who resists arrest. 73.25.214.24 (talk) 08:03, 27 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
