| GOP congressman takes down colleague's sponsored 'art' depicting police as pigs |
| 2017-01-06 |
| [FOX] A Republican congressman took matters into his own hands Friday and personally removed a painting depicting police officers as pigs that a colleague had allowed to be displayed at the U.S. Capitol complex. "I was angry," Rep. Duncan Hunter, R-Calif., told FoxNews.com. "I’ve seen the press [reporting] on this for about a week or so. ... I’m in the Marine Corps. If you want it done, just call us." Hunter said he walked over to the artwork Friday morning with a few colleagues and unscrewed it. He then delivered it to the office of Rep. Lacy Clay, D-Mo., the congressman whose office had allowed the piece to be displayed. The painting, hanging since June, was done by a high school student who had won Clay’s annual Congressional Art competition. The piece drew outrage, however, from law enforcement groups and fellow lawmakers. |

| #3 Why was the picture still in 1 piece at the time of handover? it could have 'slipped' from his hands ( like elebenteen times) enroute |
