In 2016 at age 19 Natalie Corona posed for a series of stunning pictures taken by California photographer Rich Laus. The photographs, which she later posted on Facebook, showed the young woman wearing a royal blue gown and holding a Thin Blue Line flag in honor of policeman across the land.
Three weeks ago Ms. Corona, obviously Hispanic, was shot in the back then the face by a common criminal. She had been on the Davis, California police force for two weeks.
After her murder a group of students at the University of California, Davis contend the photograph is racist and they are demanding that people cease and desist circulating the image.
“The flag is blatantly anti-Black and disrespectful,” the Associated Students, UC-Davis Ethnic and Cultural Affairs Commission wrote.
