Capitol Hill Police blasted a painting that now hangs in the U.S. Capitol, which depicts police as pigs shooting up a black St. Louis neighborhood and want the piece removed immediately.

“The painting portrays a colorful landscape of symbolic characters representing social injustice, the tragic events in Ferguson and the lingering elements of inequality in modern American society,” Democratic Missouri Rep. Lacy Clay said in a statement last June of the painting created by David Pulphus and chosen by Rep. Clay as part of the annual U.S. Congressional Art Competition.

Leftist would just send in some professional protestors to deface it, and declare loudly it is unjust and they are offended.

I’m not against using same tactics here.

On top of that, the painting is amateurish and ugly.

You cops are going about it all wrong. Become bricklayers and build a wall around those fetid cesspools. Those people created their neighborhoods, those people can live in their neighborhoods. Keep the wall up so all us deplorables can’t sneak in and enjoy the good life they create.

Liberals don’t understand threats, it’s their defining characteristic. Maybe Jarrett can explain to them.

Anyone who has worked on Capitol Hill knows that the Hill Police are fully capable of making that trash simply vanish into thin air. Not a problem.

Then they should not complain if I or anybody else were to submit an artwork depicting blacks as a bunch of hooting chimps; given their behavior as of late it would be an accurate depiction.
