The San Jose, Oakland and San Francisco police unions are calling on House Speaker Paul Ryan to remove a student painting from the U.S. Capitol Complex that depicts officers as pig-like creatures.

Last spring, “Untitled #1” by then-high school senior David Pulphus was selected as the winner of Missouri Democrat William Lacy Clay’s 16th annual Congressional Art Competition.

Are taxpayer's dollars being used in any way to fund this "art"?

“Untitled #1” by David Pulphus has drawn criticism from Bay Area police unions who say it depicts officers as warthog-like creatures. The acrylic painting was selected as the winner of Missouri Congressman William Lacy Clay’s 16th annual Congressional Art Competition last spring.

What a slap in the face to LEO’s of America! This is pure Black Lives Matter propaganda!

Who is the idiot that allowed this to be put on display? Fire him/her!

A couple of spray cans of paint will suffice.

And when it does happen, watch the libtards squeal (like the “pigs” they like to call the police) about desecration of “art”.

And, for liberals, that abomination is indeed art.

Right along with rap, and the rest of the no-talent crap currently infecting the country.

Can’t wait until the disinfect the White Hut so that humans can get back in.

Blacks depicted as wolves. Hardly. Wolves can feed themselves and are great hunters.

The painting is proof of how far new left radicalism has infiltrated our institutions. This is right out of the Blank Panthers propaganda. Just Google images for "Emory Douglas" "black panthers" "pig"..

Why aren’t the San Jose, Oakland and San Francisco police unions calling for the removal of Missouri Democrat William Lacy Clay instead?

That would solve the problem in a more satisfactory manner, wouldn’t it?

William Lacy Clay: Just another worthless Black who has somehow gotten himself elected by a bunch of morons who are the same color as he is!

The negro in the foreground of the painting appears to be portrayed as a dog.

This painting is proof that if you are completely talentless, but have the right political views you get a prize.

It looks like something a special needs child would make during art class.
