Oh I know somebody who needs that - right along with the “you’re had a little too much to think” that I posted to him.

;)

Now, if I could just remember his screen name.....

Given the situation, am I going to hell for laughing at this? Brilliant.

Fake sign.

I see little difference in this generic police bashing and Black Lives Matter.

Probably the same group of people, even.

This is not generic police bashing. To the contrary this is a devastatingly accurate act of public art.

It’s also a public service for people from outside of Minneapolis & St. Paul who might be under the false assumption that the local police are there to help.

That’s always the lib excuse - it’s art.

"...this is a joke, right?..."


No, it is a sign that government officials all agreed upon, had it rushed into production, and had mounted throughout Minneapolis to selflessly bring embarrassment to themselves and illustrate their utterly nonsensical style of local governing.

“This is a joke right?”

Yes.

It’s one of those leftist public artists.

Why would anyone be upset by this (very clever, well-produced) sign?

All reports to date indicate that “being startled” was the cause of Justine Damond’s murder by Officer Noor. Another reasonable explanation has not yet been forthcoming.

Parody can only be successful, which this is, if there is truth underneath the humor.

Weird response.

Weird how this is now a liberal site with so many people having liberal sensibilities.

These signs are metal, professionally made and look real. I am sure there are more out there than we know about.

Yes they are a joke, but they make a great point.

Okay, so what’s the excuse for murdering a man who had a carry permit and what’s the excuse for murdering a woman in her pajamas?

Because it wasn’t ‘art’.

Have you let Justine Damond know how you feel?
