Someone has started posting warning signs in Minneapolis, letting residents and visitors know to be wary of the police and their itchy trigger fingers.

A brilliant way to protest, IMHO. Wonder if these will start popping up in other cities.

This would be awesome to post all over the nation.

 

[capslock]

This is...amazing.

 

[The Lamonster]

This is amazing.

 

[ponpo]

Cute character.

 

[norm9]

They might shoot more people just to prove they aren't scaredy cats.

 

[callhitman]

This is brilliant

 

[GhaleonEB]

And so begins a manhunt to chase this person(s) down.

But yeah, rather brilliant protest. I hope it catches on.

 

[GK86]

I absolutely love this.

 

[Ocarina_117]

Please spread across the whole of the US.

 

[clevbrowns94]

Damn, I was expecting some paper sign. They went all in for this. Looks fantastic.

 

[Jawbreaker]

That's fantastic.

 

[HawksWinStanley]

Oh shit.

The police will probably take this as a personal attack though and be even more on edge.

 

[JaseMath]

A M A Z I N G

 

[Lowmelody]

Good, police are wild animals and should be treated as such.

 

[Gordon Shumway]

 

[Hilbert]

Can I buy this somewhere yet?

 

[DeployThatPizza]

This is amazing. This should be used across the US.

 

[Knurek]

The sign needs at least two bullet holes.

 

[zeemumu]

Let them sniff your hand first so they know you're friendly. And don't tap the glass. They hate that

 

[ghostofsparta]

the right be like "hope the perpetrator rots in jail!!!!!"

 

[timetokill]

This is the greatest thing.

We need these all across the country.

 

[The Kree]

And with no self awareness the police will soon justify the existence of the sign.

 

[Enduin]

Brilliant.

 

[Nightwing123]

I like it such a cool way to protest.

Tried to be friendly and wave at a police officer once.

He immediately started reaching for his gun before stopping himself. Always stuck with me as "WTF" moment.

Sometimes feels like cops in this country run on paranoia.

 

[WedgeX]

That's brilliant.

 

[The Wart]

Fucking awesome.

 

[cubicle47b]

It's a very smart sign. I would be surprised if it wasn't heavily copied.

 

[jabuseika]

Fuck em.

 

[BobTheFork]

Hey, no blocked traffic. Can we queue up the next objection assholes will have?

 

[LiK]

No lies detected.

 

[Sai-kun]

prayerhands emoji

that is radical

 

[Baroquemantic]

Haha. Beautiful.

 

[5taquitos]

One of the most well-designed and produced protest signs I've ever seen, brilliant.

 

[ezekial45]

Fucking brilliant. I hope this will catch on in other cities around the nation.

A large part of police training in the United States is based on the premise the next interaction you have could be the one where you don't go home so stay hyperaware.

The Murder of a Cop by a Vietnam Veteran in Georgia caught on dashcam in particular is shown as an example where an officer hesitating in a situation cost him his life so don't be that cop is drilled into them.

 

[Epsilon-delta]

That doesn't look cheap to produce.

Good shit.

 

[NoName999]

Might as well start treating the cops as the easily startled animals they truly are.

 

[elrechazado]

Mockery is one of the best forms of protest. Love it

 

[Shaanyboi]

That's damn good

 

[Gnome Scat]

That's fantastic.

 

[Laiza]

This is...amazing.

This is amazing.

This is brilliant

I absolutely love this.

That's fantastic.

I have nothing else to add.

 

[Protein]

I would gladly buy some of those signs.

 

[HylianTom]

Whoever starts selling these on ebay/etsy/etc is going to make a mint.

 

[DiipuSurotu]

This needs to become a new "real life meme" like Che Guevara's iconic photo, Joe Strummer's "Ignore Alien Orders", the UK's "Keep Calm and Carry On", or France's "Je Suis Paris".

 

[ShaunBRS]

Here in Minneapolis we fire the whole bullet!

 

[shandy706]

LOL

I like it.

Here in Minneapolis we fire the whole bullet!

I noticed that too. Sigh...should have had someone that knew something about guns make it X-D.

 

[Gnome]

I approve greatly of this.
