Breitbart:

[…]The painting depicting police officers as giant pigs pushing minorities around in Ferguson, Missouri, was originally hung by Missouri Democrat Lacy Clay in the tunnel of the Congressional Cannon office building of the U.S. Capitol complex. But it was recently pulled down by California Republican Duncan Hunter who said the thing fosters an “untrue narrative” that police don’t care about the public in general and minorities in particular.

“This false narrative portrays law enforcement professionals as posing a danger to the very communities we serve. That is untrue and this ‘art’ reinforces this false narrative and is disrespectful on so many levels,” Rep. Hunter said after he removed the offensive painting from the wall.

The Californian also said that numerous members of the Capitol Police had expressed their dismay at the painting’s inclusion in the display of art works submitted by the nation’s high schoolers to the Congressional Art Competition.

Hunter also noted that Rep. Lacy can keep putting it up, but he can also keep taking it back down.

  1. Lacy Clay passes two US Capitol Police officers and mumbles “fucking pigs.”

    Further down the tunnel, a crazed terrorist steps forward and begins slashing her with a box cutter.

    “HELP! HELP!” she screams. “HELP! POLICE! POLICE!”

    The two USCP officers don’t budge, but one shouts, “Nobody here but us pigs, ma’am.”

  2. Well, I know something about pigs, that’s not a pig.
    It looks like a warthog, warthogs are badass.
    Is Brown supposed to be on the cross?
    The artist left out the dunlap.

  3. These same great minds and supporters of the constitution that were okay with the removal of great military tactical leader’s pictures being removed from the walls of West Point because they were confederates?

    Never country first with these jerks, skin color is all that really matters.

  4. 30 years from now if it still hangs there,the painting will be part of history. This is their idea,so youth will believe Obama was trying to solve a Civil rights problem that was out of control.
    We Know he actually re-ignited a huge Separation of Races, asking us to question our relationships with people of different skin colors.
