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.

Somebody should take the painting down, and burn it!
If he feels this way he has no business being in the position he is in. Who would he call on if he or his family needed help. and they would no t come to help , would serve him right ,but the police would be there for him even if it meant giving their life. You are such a disgrace to call yourself a represenative of our great country.
Sounds like a call for someone to kick his @ss.
You just may well get your$#%&!@*kicked instead.
Bring it on!
Somebody put a confederate flag sticker on that painting and see how long it stays up there
