They're using a photo from 1992, from LA after the Rodney King verdict.

It is the job of the Democratic party to sell and defend the policies that most Democratic voters want, not to present a candidate slate that is palatable to moderate Republicans who might switch if they hate their own candidate enough.

I HAVE YET TO SEE HIS GOP TOADIES OBJECT.
