A decision to repaint Laguna Beach police cars with an image of the American flag running through lettering on the doors will return to the City Council Tuesday after some residents deemed it unfit for the artists’ community.
The flag design on Laguna Beach police cars has stirred discussion about whether the new theme properly reflects the community.
“Clearly, the way it looks on the car is not what anyone expected it to look like,” Dicterow said. “I think it’s reasonable that we’re going to look at it again so that whatever we [approve] is exactly what we put on the car.” At a recent council meeting, local artist Carrie Woodburn said the design scheme on the squad cars looked “aggressive.”
“I don’t really care too much about the design, other than what I said — it's bad art,” Woodburn said. “I’m being attacked for that because the narrative feeds a fire of division, which is what our culture has become.” A small group of demonstrators gathered near the beach Monday afternoon to show support for the new-look squad cars.
