Bart Simpson turned black by AleXsandro Palombo in response to American police brutality

An artist has drawn The Simpsons as black in response to the shooting of an African-American teenager.

In one image, a black Bart is held at gunpoint by the show’s police chief Clarence ‘Clancy’ Wiggum, as a sign reading ‘I have a dream’ is seen in the background, covered by a red ‘censored’ stamp.

In another set of images, Clancy and the Statue of Liberty wear the infamous conical hats of the Ku Klux Klan.

In one particularly disturbing sketch, Palombo invokes the death of 12-year-old Tamir Rice by drawing Bart dead, face-down on the floor besides a toy gun. A billboard reads ‘Cops never sleep’.

We have groups of mentally ill, racist, rapist and gang member types in the ranks of police departments all around the country MURDERING citizens with impunity. It doesn't matter what your race or gender is, these people are equal opportunity killers who are being protected by the very institutions who are supposed to be protecting US from THEM.

This has to stop NOW!

Michael Nida - Unarmed shot multiple times in the back by a downey cop after he tried to run away



Douglas Zerby - Cops snuck up on him and blew him away without warning just because he was holding a water nozzle.



John Winkler - Stabbed then gunned down by deputies as he was trying to flee his attacker



Frank Mendoza - Gunned down by deputies as he was trying to flee an armed parolee that had just broke into his home



Brian Beaird - Gunned down by LAPD cops as he was surrendering with his hands up.



Jose de la Trinidad - Unarmed and shot 7 times in the back by deputies





Jason Conoscenti - Unarmed, shot multiple times in the back as he was running away. His murder was captured on video.



Levar Edward Jones - Gunned down as he was getting his ID. Thankfully he survived unlike the other cases.



Kelly Thomas - Unarmed, beaten and strangled to death as he cried out for his Dad. The two cops who did it were found not guilty.
