Row over sculpture of squatting cop
Police chiefs have criticised an artist who created a life size sculpture of a female riot cop relieving herself on the floor.
The sculpture shows a female officer wearing a helmet, body armour and a baton squatting with her combat trousers around her knees with a realistic-looking puddle on the floor.
The display - at Dreseden College of Art in Germany - won young artist Narcel Walldorf a £1,000 prize but has outraged critics.
Police union spokesman Hagen Hisgen said: "There is freedom of art - but this time it has gone too far."
