Thursday, January 5, 2017
SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) -- Bay Area police unions are calling on House Speaker Paul Ryan to take action over a student's painting they say portrays officers in a negative light.

The untitled artwork, which depicts police officers as warthogs, won a congressional art competition last year, and is hanging inside the U.S. Capitol.
