Description: Photo-silkscreen montage of face of Rubén Salazar. Also images of coins, with the word "Liberty" highlighted. Behind Salazar's back is an anthropomorphic pig in a police helmet, an obvious reference to his assassination at the hands of peace officers. At the bottom are words and phrases, somewhat in the grafitti style. They read: UFW, todos unidos, con safos, RCAF, etc. Color gradation from orange to green.
