Most Americans hadn’t the slightest idea that within the walls of the U.S. Capitol hung a painting that portrayed police officers as pigs engaged in brutality against African-Americans neighborhoods. As if this wasn’t bad enough, the painting had been there since June until California Rep. Duncan Hunter decided to take a stand and had the work removed from the building just this past week.
“There’s nothing appropriate about a painting that depicts police officers at pigs,” Hunter’s spokesman Joe Kasper told the Washington Examiner. “Rep. Hunter removed the painting and returned it, but as easy as it came down — it can go back up.”
The painting was done by student David Pulphus after he won a congressional art contest about the Ferguson, Mo., riots that followed the police shooting in the St. Louis-suburb in 2014. It has been hanging in the Cannon House Building since June after Rep. William Lacy Clay, D-Mo., put it up.”

Try putting up a different kind of art and see what happens! All Lives Matter!
If you’re going to hate someone for killing blacks then maybe you should hate other blacks.

Hang a picture of a black being lynched in the 50’s by a gang of (democrat) KKK and see how fast THEY come and take it down.
