The upper left portion of the poster has a photograph of three police officers wearing wide brimmed hats and masks that conceal their entire faces.

The lower portion of the poster has a photograph of a young male African American lying in a contorted position face down on the ground apparently dead, his face is concealed. Below this figure spreads what appears to be a pool of red blood. In this blood pool in a slightly darker red color there are the photos of a sad African American man's face and a crouching African American man positioned so he appears to be looking into the face of the dead figure.
