Why would a monkey be shot by a cop, if it's not a reference to incidents such as the Oscar Grant BART shooting. If the monkey is a reference to authors of the stimulus, why are cops in the cartoon at all? With the best will I can't see this as other than an attempt to tie our new administration to street crime through a common thread of chimps. And the only way that makes any sense is as racism.
<edit> Woops, I didn't know there was a recent news story about cops actually shooting a chimp.
