    the purpose was to show lawful government force not working to protect poor Americans but kill them, hopefully President Trumps tariffs and huge wall make the poor richer so lawful government force can work for them too.

    He doesn't live in the Capitol building?
    He isn't in charge of art exhibits?
    Obama has nothing to do with it.

    Do you think Presidents sit around approving all the art? LOL!

    This is the Left. They continue to pursue the dream of Charles Manson and that other terrorist that mentored the Child-Man.

    Nope.......

    They APPOINT the folks that do that.

    That's called tacit approval.

    I also wonder about this "artistic freedom" thingy you all are speaking of.

    What if a senator, who was in the midst of a true filibuster, simply started reading "Huckleberry Finn"?

    How far would he be allowed to read?

    He is simply reading an artists version of a novel.

    Or maybe he read, verbatim, a few choice lyrics from a few popular Hip-Hop songs?

    Oh, and he/she is white.

    How long would that senator keep his position?

    Simple questions.

    That's what passes for 'art' these days? I thought rap music was bad, but it appears there is virtually no talent in any form of art in some communities...

    Do cops patrol or escort people through that area?

    12:00 Liberals: Cops don't keep us safe from gangs who terrorize us
    12:30 Liberals: Cops are the bad guys who terrorize us

    Guys....we are gonna need industrial grade pressure washers with steam capabilities to strip the obama stink off of our nation. That failure of a man is the reason our nation is divided more than it has been in over half a century. And now hes trying to muck things up as much as possible on his way out. Thats good, it will just make trump look even better when.he fixes it. Do we have an artist name and pic yet? I bet he has skinny beta male arms.

    As you pointed out, they don't do nuance very well. And it shows and it shows and it shows.

    Understand that every painting has to be understood and that a painting is not just a picture. Have a look at some of the old masters. Beautiful work, fine artistry and usually carrying many messages. Okay a still life might be about draughtsmanship rather than communication but where you see humans depicted you can be there's a message.

    Contrast this painting with the hypothetical painting of a KKK member lynching a black man. One is protest the other is bragging.

    This is completely disgusting. Openly promoting violence against law enforcement in a public place. Sure there may be SOME bad LE apples but, come on now....Some of you been watchin' too many Hollywood movies.

    I thought folks were trying to figure out how to present this painting as a going away gift for Mr. Obama. Apropos, no?

    Agreed.

    Agreed.

    The Obama legacy just gets better and better.

    Yes. My dad was a police officer. My grandfather was a police officer. This year, 138 law enforcement officers gave their lives in the line of duty. Displaying this "artwork" in a government building? That's completely out of line. And anyone want to guess who the artist will call if they find someone breaking into their home?

    The painting is historically accurate since cops have always been called pigs. Read old newspapers.

    Yes, killing cops is the acceptance by so many on the left, and I can see you support their murder too. Disgusting

    He has 10's of thousands that do work in and around everything that happens in this country, so yes, he is president and he is responsible or it would be taken down.

    Obama invited black lies matter and Sharp-tongue to the white house many times, and they are the mouth pieces for those who kill cops

    Paintings were selected by congress which has a GOP majority. GOP currently controls what happens in the Capitol.

    [QUOTEThe United States Capitol, often called the Capitol Building or Capitol Hill, is the home of the United States Congress, and the seat of the legislative branch of the U.S. federal government.][/QUOTE]

    Yep, Obama invites to the white house many of the hateful voices who trigger the nuts who commit the murder of cops.
