Down With the Pigs!

The City of LA just finished a new super-whiz-bang police station for the illustrious LAPD.

City thought it would be nice to install $500,000 of sculptures around the new station. Clearly no one reviewed what the artist was planning on installing.

Big animal torsos decorate the exterior areas around the new police station. A good example is the one above, which definitely looks like a headless pig on its side.

Pigs outside the police station. No wonder Police Chief Bratton isn't happy.

Normally I would be appalled at the $500,000 wasted on what's pretty hideous art, but the fact that they're big ugly useless pigs outside the police station makes it into a great ironic statement about the LA police.
