In a development that eerily reflects the current state of affairs in the nation, Capitol Hill has become a battleground between those who support law enforcement and those who are hostile to officers.
It all started when Democratic Representative William Lacy Clay decided to hang up a painting made by one of his constituents on the wall of the building. The painting, which depicts police as pigs bent on racist violence against African-Americans, sat there for months before Republican Rep. Duncan Hunter took it upon himself to have the offending work removed, citing it as inappropriate and disrespectful to law enforcement.
Considering the sacrifices made by officers everyday, you would think that Hunter’s position and reason for removing the painting would hardly be controversial. After all, it is only because of police that legislators are safe to do their jobs. But unfortunately, it appears that some disagree with this assessment.

Assault and battery is the combination of two violent crimes: assault (the threat of violence) and battery (crime) (physical violence). This legal distinction exists only in jurisdictions that distinguish assault as threatened violence rather than actual violence. This man should be in handcuffs and certainly not speaking for the people. Why can’t the man do his job and help heal America.
Not if it’s burned!!!!
They should burn it. I would love to see what these flag burning jerkoffs would do then.
Careful what you ask for.
Next time you take it down burn it!
Of course he threatens. That’s what the left does when they can’t get their way. They bully and threaten!! F them. I’m sick of this insane nationwide temper tantrum. Get over yourselves!
Maybe they should call the cops next time someone takes down their ridiculous painting.
Excellent idea!
You will help you when you need it.
Too late they have already destroyed any and all progress!!
