    I am going to utter a couple of facts right here:

    1- Yes, darker-skinned people are more given to anarchism, and have a higher proportion of condamnations. But they are also poorer and less educated.

    2- The police force is an exclusive "boys' club" which is impossible to break or discipline, and that is more and more cut off from the population they (are supposed to) serve, instead protecting the elites' status quo with increasingly military-looking appartus. "Us and Them", it is.

    IMO, the painting is too much - but it's still better than jail terms as far as the police is concerned, IMO.

    I can't wait to have these guys replaced by photoradars and drones.

    [/QUOTE]

    Try again, your excuses are noted:

    A Missouri congressman has sparked outrage after a painting he approved depicting police officers as animals was placed on display in the U.S. Capitol building.

    The painting, by high school senior David Pulphus, shows the unrest in Ferguson, Mo. after the 2014 death of Michael Brown. The piece won Rep. Lacy Clay, D-Mo.’s annual Congressional Art competition in May, and so was selected to be displayed at the Capitol complex.

    The piece depicts two police officers, whose heads are replaced by animal heads – one of which appears to be a pig -- aiming guns at protesters who are carrying signs saying “History” and “Racism Kills.” In the background is a crucified black man in a graduation cap holding the scales of justice.

    Clay praised the piece in a press release in May, saying it “portrays a colorful landscape of symbolic characters representing social injustice, the tragic events in Ferguson, Missouri and the lingering elements of inequality in modern American society.”


    Congressional Republicans also expressed dismay at the decision to display the painting in the Capitol.

    You only answered one of three questions.
    You skipped these two:
    Where does it say "pres obama put this up"?
    Why do you have to stretch and twist the truth to try to make/defend your position? ​

    The article in the OP clearly stated that this was a Congressional art exhibit.
    Perhaps I'm wrong, but I didn't think the President appoints members of Congress. I thought the voters elected them.
    Perhaps I'm wrong, but I thought that, at the time of this incident, Republicans held a majority in Congress.

    It's amazing how conservatives yell and scream about the Constitution and then want to ignore the concepts of separation of powers when it pleases them. I'm sure Putin would have never allowed a painting denigrating the politsiya (the Russian federal law-enforcement agency).

    Yes remember when during the BLM protest and gun shots rang out, the protesters, who seconds before we mocking the police and saying they were killers and pigs, then literally RAN and hid behind those very officers. The officers who not seconds before were being mocked and spat on by these scumbags, then ran towards the danger to protect those very protesters.
    A perfect illustration of just how full of it these protesters were. If they were so afraid of police and think of them as pigs, then why did they run behind them like frightened rabbits being chased by a predator?

    It's nothing but racist bs by our Racist president.

    Everyone knows obama always takes the side of thug

    over the police. obama is a disgrace to America Justice.

    Since obama's election the White House has been home to many white hating Racists.

    The White House will need to be fumigated before

    President Trump moves in.

    The facts are the facts.

    people like yourself will always try to twist the truth to fit your agenda.

    We all know hands up don't shoot was bs.

    That thug got just what he was asking for.

    It's simple, if you don't want to get shot by the police don't f%^# with them.

    Nice try, NRA is the liberal loon boogyman, and you promote the death of our police by continuing to make excuses. Pathetically sad, but so typical of liberal hate

    How about liberal ideology allowing this nightmare to evolve and morph into a societal nightmare. Does Japan have this problem? No, little to none, as does Denmark, and many other nations that actually enforce penalties in their judicial system

    The new sheriff is going to clean house and take out the trash.

    As for "don't (*)(*)(*)(*) with too hehe police". No. I disagree. Your quote just admitted that too hehe bathe police have no boundaries, and are expected to summarily execute people for no reason.

    You ought to go live in North korea.

    I guarantee you that if the cops were human and the blacks were depicted as apes, you wouldn't be making a fuss.

    Well honestly, I really don't put much stock in these types of threads, and I may not have properly displayed sarcasm, not my type of art either, but this is just one in a long list of flame bait threads, with the truth stretched to say the least.

    Then work on the real barbarism in the streets of all our major cities demonstrated nightly in Chicago. That's what the police force is working on, they are not the animals in the fight.

    You guarantee it? :roflol:

    Why would you come up with such an absurd comment. I hate racism in any form. Shame on you for assuming you have any idea what I think or feel

    He's the president, and it is his responsibility. No different than you liberals trying to hold Trump accountable for what comes out of the POS KKK nut case haters

    Amazing you don't mention it was a liberal loon that approved the painting, all the while praising it. So sad how many liberals that hate cops, which is again why Trump won

    Your entire post is kind of one big lie...

    It's more or less summarized as 'I know what happened but it doesn't fit my narrative so I ignore what doesn't fit and magnify what does.'
