Arrest the nut holding the sign...It will stop
A sign saying something like F*ck the Police would be offensive. But it would be protected speech, as it does not openly call for violence.
But Kill the Police, no way is that protected speech. No more than Kill the ________ would be (fill in with any group of people).
Do we have a better perp picture. Similar signs are carried by black klan members.
Additionally, in most states that sign would be seen as 'making terroristic threats', constituting at least a mid-level misdemeanor.
These people are cowards. Show them that you are shooting their picture and tell them that you will be posting it on the Internet.
However, be careful. Liberals and leftists can be very violent.
If I were a cop, I would feel my life was being threatened, and naturally...need to defend myself.
So, why have a carload of Patriots not yet pulled up, jumped out and beat the crap out of him? None around, or just too darned law-abiding?
Multiple people is evidence of a conspiracy to murder police. That is sedition

Which of these things is not like the others?
A few years ago, someone snuck the words “kill all n******” into a school yearbook. The fbi investigated. The cops investigate today when someone writes “it’s OK to be White.”
No reason not to arrest this guy.
>>Do you think that these signs are protected speech?
Yes.

Who FAILed?
Well, surely it’s not as dangerous as praying on the sidewalk in front of an abortion center or praying at a public high school. < /sarcasm in case anyone wasn’t sure >
If this were happening in my area I think I'd keep a sign in my car. Then if I came across this guy I'd legally park, then stand next to him with my sign. My sign would say "Kill this a**hole" with an arrow...
Wonder how he'd feel about that? My free speech too.
As pointed out by a comment below the story, would a person be arrested for carrying a sign saying “Kill a Black?”
Correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t that one of those forms of speech that is not protected by the first amendment?
Do we not have a rule of law in the US?
Change the word “cop” to that for any other profession or better yet, perhaps the name any current justice warrior protected class of Americans, and then watch the fireworks.
Personally, if I encountered speech freely expressing kiling me and mine, I’d likely be incited to reciprocate with some free expression of my own. I bet that’s a common reaction.
Like begets like and what goes around comes around and signs like that are good for receiving some instant karma.
Test burning a cross somewhere. See what happens.
Be a shame of that sign holder got hurt...accidents happen.
That’s a mentality that spread in conjunction with the spread of the stinky weed. It’s highly likely that most of the cop killers were potheads who had the paranoia festering in their rotting brains for years.
No. That’s like yelling fire in a theater. Promoting murder should not be “free speech.”
