“I went to [Santa Monica] the morning after the riots,” Pollak continued, “I will never forget the sight of the graffiti on the library, and the graffiti said, ‘Save a life, kill a cop.’ It’s not a store. It’s not the police station. It’s not even a courthouse or the city hall. It’s the library. The people who work at the library spend all day dealing with homeless people coming in from the cold or on the street — black, white, whatever — these are people who give their lives to those who have nothing, and it’s a free public resource.”
