The painting hung by Democrat Congressman Lacy Clay that depicts police officers as pigs is disrespectful to every man and woman both past and present who has ever served in law enforcement, especially in the light of recent deaths of police officers in the line of duty. The painting, while an expression of free speech, is inappropriate to be displayed and hung in the hallowed halls of Congress and has no place there. It should be removed as it is offensive to those families who have lost loved ones in the line of duty protecting the public.
