    US police officers are the most moronic, sadistic, idiotic, trigger happy cops in the western world. They have a history of using violence against non violent citizens. You think there is something inaccurate about the painting?

    That was the start, and it ended with the inquiry of the DOJ. That inquiry would never have happened if the racist with a badge didn't shot that guy. It's all connected.
    The cops had a policy to harass poor black people violating their rights. And to claim the cops would act the same towards both races is not founded in the DOJ report. In fact, the cops only used their k9 units to bite black people.


    They had a policy to trash the rights of black people. That is beneath of what is to be expected from officers, hence the derogatory painting.

    The parallel is there. Since the government backs up both pieces.
    That no Muslim cartoon is not part of the Congressional Art Competition, is not my problem.
    Besides that,.. it's the GOP who rule congress. Take it up with them.

    Darren Wilson was cleared of all charges. Michael Brown shouldn't have robbed a convenience store and attacked a cop before going to engineering school to study rocket science. What part of the painting shows Michael Brown's angelic behavior?

    Example regardless of guilt/innocence....leaving the body of a shot citizen on the concrete for 3 hours....not calling for an ambulance but rather calling back up....UNPROFESSIONAL

    The racist with a badge shot which guy again?

    The one who had just roughed up a convenience store owner, stole some items, left the store and walked down the middle of the street. When questioned by the Officer, he decided to reach into the car and assault the officer and grab for his gun?

    That guy?
    In what world should that guy not be shot? Or is it that since he is Black, he should be able to do those things and the Officer needs to give him more latitude? Wouldn't that be the real racist angle?

    If Michael Browns shooting at the hands of a "racist cop" is the kind of basis we are working with here, It only further casts doubts for me on Eric "my people" Holders DOJ and it's findings.


    But it is your problem if you are trying to cast it as being the same thing, which you are doing. The Government isn't displaying Anti Muslim cartoons.


    On the last bit, yes you are correct we hold the cards now and I expect this "art" will be removed for good soon.

    Hope they do remove it for good. This kind of garbage has no place in the Capitol. Think of it like the Nuclear Option the Democrats were happy to use before, and now wish they hadn't. Don't open up the door to such blatant stereotypes under the guise of "Artistic expression", you may not like what future artists create and will have walled yourselves in when it also has to be displayed.

    Yes, that is why I dragged the history of Chicago into it, there is history in both, but that painting does nothing but divide and the congressman hanging is only maintaining the painting of hatred of police officers all over the country

    Thank you for confirming why Trump won. Liberal loons who continue their quest to broad brush all police and republicans like you just did, democrats will continue to lose seats.

    Democrats lost because they rejected economic populism. Most people understand police today are NOT what they claim to be. They are thugs themselves, executing people for running. Executing naked people because "they feel threatened". They are the biggest cry babies, and are deadly as a result. If you want to see good cops, go to England or Germany.

    If England or Germany dealt with the low life POS we have, they would not appear to be that way. Japan is the same relatively safe and peaceful society, but when you go to prison in Japan, you won't get a college degree and a flat screen TV

    You continue painting police with that broad brush of hate will continue to help the conservative movement, so thank you

    Yeah, I guess the same thing applies to the confederate flag. :roflol:

    Both are freedom of speech
    Both are symbols of hate
    Both are divisive
    Both should be taken down from government buildings

    Actually, England and Germany do not have a 2nd amendment so cops are not paranoid they will run into a nut with a gun every 5 minutes. Second, crime occurs most in low income neighborhoods. Germany and England have national health care which helps people stay healthy and feel productive, so they lower crime and help their economies at the same time. We don't do that, so we have high crime and a paranoid, sick population. Easy to fix.

    They have arrest quotas, not kill quotas.

    It probably differs county to county, state to state, etc. The NYPD has arrest and citation quotas. Guess it doesn't pay off for them to actually decrease crime, because if they do, they are reprimanded.

    Can you bridge the ggap for between

    "against a large violent thug who could literally kill her with one punch?"

    And your response


    You are claiming everyone she pulls over is a large violent thug who could literally kill her with one punch?

    Its not a free speech issue. Its a Congressional run art contest and they get to make the rules of the of the contest and the rules of what type of art will be displayed in the capital building. Michael Medved on his show read the rule of the contest which states that the art entered must comply with those rules of the capital building and this piece of "art" does because of its blantant political flaming.

    The Congressman who insist on displaying it is in violation of the rules of the contest and the building.

    It's a shame schools do not properly teach the 1st Amendment anymore.

    No man ... IT IS RIGHT THE SORT OF YOU = RIGHTIES that is holding the freedom of speech so high and above worst BS ... and so it can happen that this so holy right is sometimes bouncing back with things you don't like!

    It is allowed to show black people like apes and to tell in full public that blacks have lesser brain as an ape... it is allowed to say that Hitler did not gas enough Jews on one hand or to deny that any Jew was gassed at all ... in short: it is allowed to say the most impudent things about others and all the time it WAS THE RIGHTY area who teach us that this is OK, because freedom of speech.

    And now this stupid paint and this should not be allowed of course! Ridiculous! Who says A has to take B too!
