    The painting portrays an ugly message,
    I wonder what a boar and a wolf signifies.
    So many would wish to see a flock of sheep with a friendly shepherd instead of what's being depicted.

    tasteless painting, tasteless decision to select it, tasteless to hang it on a gov't building.
    shame on whoever the decision makers were in this process from beginning to end.

    I have the same outrage of painting all police as vicious murdering pigs, partisanship like you display doesn't apply to me. Post where a conservative lumps all police as murdering pigs like many on the left do

    Good, let's start portraying criminals as monkeys (Stereotypical as possible) terrorizing their own neighborhoods resulting in the deaths of thousands every year.

    I cant believe this is hanging in the Capitol. Someone in the article described it as "hate masquerading as art" and that's exactly what it is.
    Freedom of expression yes, addressing the issues with police yes...this BS will not bring any more awareness or solve anything.

    Per capita, lol. If 20K whites commit a crime and 20K blacks commit a crime, please explain how that is a reflection on the white and black folks who don't commit a crime.

    Prove it. I don't want your opinion prove it.

    BULL. You only want one type of racism displayed: White on Black. Period.

    What about a picture or painting like this below of a White woman being attacked by dark-skinned Blacks or Muslims?

    [​IMG]

    This is an artists interpretation of the events surrounding a specific rape of White Women by Arab and Black Muslims, and the inaction of the Nation afterwards, as interpreted by someone who clearly sees artistic merit in its display.

    Blah blah, emotional agitprop nonsense. I didnt mention racism at all, and i find it highly amusing youre resprting to it now.

    Artistic impression should not be infringed, ever. I dont care what it shows. Artistic expression is an interpretation by the artist, and the idiotic, slavering, paranoid, fear junky right has proven it doesnt give a (*)(*)(*)(*) about artistic expression.

    That needs to stop.


    Now.

    I don't believe you. You know if a painting like this was displayed in the US Capital you and yours would foaming at the mouth in rage.

    Your beloved painting in the OP is even more provocative and racist than what I displayed. It's not about the artwork and artistry---it's all about the politics.

    The officer involved was exonerated, that's the legal interpretation. Brown had just strong armed a local store owner (on tape) and was confronted by the officer. Brown attacked the officer. The one way to NOT to get killed by an officer is to follow his instructions. I believe a lot of these shootings would or could have been avoided had the people involved followed police instructions. If you believe Brown was murdered you support BLM. The truth shall set you free.

    Because it looks at an equal amount from each group of men and accurately shows how one group is dominating crime. You needed that to be explained to you as well?

    I have before and will again. Then I'll watch you run away.....again.

    If you look at offender data and assume that 92 percent of murders are committed by males, you find that young black males were about 8 times more likely to commit murders than similarly aged white males. However, a lot of murders occur where the offender isnÂ’t identified and that this problem is greater for gang related murders. To try to deal with this, we have made some calculations using victim data. Adjusting the data by the rate that blacks and whites kill members of their own and other races, young black males were 9 times more likely to commit murders than similarly aged white males. (Click on figures to enlarge the calculations made here.)

    http://crimeresearch.org/2014/10/in...-whites-even-after-adjusting-for-crime-rates/

    Now what. Gonna run away or call crime research a white supremacist website? :roflol:

    Really, how is one group dominating the crime. You conservatives whine all the time about individual responsibility until it comes to crime, welfare, etc. and then you love to lump folks into groups.

    20 black men committing crimes is no reflection on 20 other black men who are not committing crime.



    Murder, murder, murder that is all you ever bring to the table. How many other crimes are committed in this country? Funny how you have to post from a conservative website, why not post from the source DOJ, FBI, etc.

    By committing more of it per capita for that group. Once again, things you already know but refuse to admit.

    Psst. Each crime is a personal responsibility. Wow. You had to be told that.

    Said no one ever. But black men committing far more crime per capita than any other group of men is significant and indisputable.

    Why don't you? Prove my stats wrong. Put up or shut up. All you have is empty words and zero facts to support anything you say which is why its so easy to constantly defeat you. :)

    No, I am not going to admit I am responsible for the crime that every other black man commits. Are you responsible for every crime a white man commits?


    Then why do you try to lump all crimes committed by someone black together.



    Again if 20 white men commit a crime and 20 black men commit a crime, what is the difference.



    I already posted the stats, how about this why don't you prove your stats correct.

    So you would be fine with displaying an artistic expression of Black men high on drugs roaming the streets raping, robbing and killing other Black people of all ages??

    Where and when did this "specific murder" happen? Mike Brown died attempting the murder of a cop. The only cases of a person being murdered by cops that I know of have resulted if the cops being charged with murder. No, not the Freddie Gray case. That was a case of stupidity by Freddie.

    let's say that a civilian was being attacked my the enraged giant, Mike Brown, and the civilian killed MB as he resumed the attack? Would you ask your friends and family members to - do what.? If a real artist want to interpret a violent street thug Mike Brown would be a great choice and the Black community loves the boy.

    Not a fact at all. the fact is that any person who had been attacked by Mike Brown would have the legal right to use deadly force to prevent the attack from continuing.

    Wrong again. cop have the same right to self defense as everyone else has and they have the "DUTY" to stop thugs like Mike Brown for walking the streets after he has attacked another person as he attacked the cop that day.

    The context is that Blacks want to attack police officers and then walk away with no consequences and radical Blacks and normal people are divided about that..

    To preach and repeat the lies promoted my BLM is support. You believe that there is a whole sale slaughter of Black people by cops but you ignore the fact that hundreds of thousands of Blacks have been killed by PP and the progressives that legalized abortions as a way to control the Black population and it is working. Many Blacks are comfortably sitting in the shade shackled to the progressive plantation and think that they are free.

    No one ever said you were personally responsible. Just another lie to avoid the truth about black crime per capita.

    Because since you've obviously forgot what you were arguing the reality is that black men per capita commit far more crime especially murders than any other race in the US. You can't debate it so you run away from it each and every time.

    Again that isn't what was said. You are making up a point no one is arguing to avoid the real one. As usual.


    LOL Where are your stats? Where? Link to them.

    My stats are correct. They are from the FBI. You simply were not learned enough to check.

    [​IMG]

    And you can't argue against them which is why you ran when I asked for yours.

    I wonder how lefties would feel if a painting was put up portraying Michelle Obama as an ape in heels?

    What is he going to do? He doesn't even visit the capitol. :roflol:. Can't make this stuff up.
    There was someone probably dancing naked in a police station NYE and yelling at cops, should obama have gone there and read the person their rights?

    I frankly dont give much of a (*)(*)(*)(*) that you dont believe me. I am a fan of music that offends the vast majority of the rabid right in this country

    I am against, avidly, any form of restriction on artistic interpretation.

    - - - Updated - - -

    Is the government and its agents above criticism? I mean, you saying what you just said is essentially dissent and criticism of the government. It also makes you hypocritical in your argument.

    - - - Updated - - -

    Again, i have my interpretation, you have yours. You can sit here all day and deny that law has been constructed to protect officers at the expense of the public, but youd have no evidence to support it.
