A Missouri congressman is demanding criminal charges against Rep. Duncan Hunter who yanked a student’s controversial painting off the U.S. Capitol walls Friday, according to the Washington Post.
Rep. William Lacy Clay, D-Mo., said his staff met Monday with members of the Capitol Police to press theft charges against Hunter, R-Alpine, who removed the painting Friday and delivered it to Clay’s office as he left a Republican conference meeting where the artwork was discussed.
“He had no right to take that picture down,” Clay told the Post Monday just off the House floor. “It’s thievery.”
The painting, by a recent high school graduate from Clay’s district, depicts a scene of civil unrest inspired by the 2014 events in Ferguson, Mo., and other recent protests against police led by African Americans. Several figures are depicted as animals, and some pro-police activists have said the rendering evokes derogatory images of police as pigs.

Sadly, Hunter was the ONLY one with any BALLS to take down that piece of CRAP!
Ole Lacy Clay gonna get a beat down.
If he had no right to take it down, where did she get the right to put it up outside her office?
Should have left a crucifix in a jar of urine in its place.
All would have been good.
Jr. Hunter gave Clay a compliment the other day, I wonder if he cares to walk that back now that he’s being slandered by this racist thug as a “thief.”
Surprise, surprise
Wait, what?
You met with Capitol Police and THEY DID NOT HAVE PIG HEADS AND SHOOT YOU IN COLD BLOOD???!?
Such irony.
Figgers.
these people just keep nagging. nag nag nag. That’s all they’re good for.
He didn’t steal it, YOU HAVE IT. These people are morons.
Clay should be reprimanded.
We’re going to remember this Clay, and when the time comes....
Clay is a doofus
Everything one needs to know about the democrat party is right here with this very stupid painting depicting Cops as pigs.
These fools are disgusting,
Next time one of these dems are assaulted they need to call some BLM puke
That there is pretty funny. You obviously have no idea who Clay Lacy is, or where Missouri's First Congressional district is located.
But you feel free to come on out and help campaign for a replacement - they'll love you in Black Jack or Jennings, or better still in the north St. Louis city neighborhoods.
Painting of Chicago Mayor Harold Washington in ladies underwear.
CHICAGO — A painting of the late Chicago Mayor Harold Washington dressed only in women's frilly underwear was returned to its student artist Thursday, 24 hours after angry city councilmen ripped it from an art school wall and police impounded it, saying it could incite rioting.
========================================
Funny (not). One of the left’s favorite tactics is removing signs, etc, when they disagree with the message. They think it’s perfectly acceptable to remove campaign signs from people’s yards. Or break stained glass windows they don’t like. Or pull down flags.
Hunter didn’t destroy or deface the “art”, he gave it back to this bobble-headed Lacy.
I wish Congressional Rs would take a page from Trump’s playbook and fight fire with fire.
Clay continued. “Any black parent would tell you that they have to have this conversation with their children about police and how to act around them, so that’s the conversation we need to be having here. Not about taking some kid’s picture off the wall — it should be about, how do we change these attitudes and improve the relationships between police and the black community?”
Perhaps “we” start by not physically attacking the police, or assassinating them?
