 Anti-Police Painting to Be Removed Permanently From Capitol Tunnel
Posted By Jack Heretik On January 14, 2017 @ 12:36 am In Politics | No Comments

A painting that depicts police officers as pigs and has been hanging in a tunnel of the Capitol will be permanently removed next week.

The painting was part of a congressional art competition and hung in the tunnel between the Cannon House Office Building and the Capitol. The artwork was sponsored by Rep. William Lacy Clay, Jr. (D., Mo.), who represents much of the St. Louis area, including Ferguson, Missouri. The painting by a then-high school student from Clay’s district depicts police officers as what appears to be pigs pointing guns at black men.

I wouldn't be surprised if the congressional black caucus will show up in force to "defend" their free speech.  It's a wonderful opportunity to further their racism agenda. :baby:
