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.

No one wins a race war! That is not even a rational statement. There is a lot insanity going around right now. My daughter is an ex-police and my son-in-law and a whole family full of police. She is a judge now but collects pigs of all types. No one calls her a racist for that. My wife and I owned an art gallery for 30 years. While we didn’t deal in pictures of pigs, I guess I know art when I see it and this is art. I also see a huge mob of angry people refusing to pay any attention to the frustration of people who genuinely fear being killed by police. I have no clue why I try to reason with you. You want to burn something…or worse you want to kill something. What you don’t want is free expression from anyone with a different experience than your own, so you join into a growing collective to assert a mindless demand that no thought be expressed from black people that doesn’t first get your mob’s approval. If I were to paint this experience you and the mob with you would all look like cattle not pigs….or maybe sheep…no cattle is right. Sheep don’t stampede mindlessly.
Oh & who’s to say you wouldn’t get your a** kicked back??
