Actually an apology after-the-fact, and putting the officer on "Paid Leave", read extra vacation doesn't really cut it IMHO.

Whether I agree with the tactic or not, even the dumbest cop in the entire country has to know that this is protected free speech. At the very least, it should be unpaid leave, with the forfeited pay going to Mr. Brock as compensation for his inconvenience.

They may retrain the officer, but they can't increase his intelligence.

How are the protests at military funerals going these days?

I'm sure you'd love this one parked outside your house, protected free speech and all...

Some of us believe that even if these aren't "obscenity," they are beyond the standards of decency, and with truck signage--unlike TV broadcast hours--there's no "Safe Harbor." We cannot change the channel on a truck sign, and I don't like opening the door to being forced to endure filth on the roadways.

*guess the deletion of the post makes the point that the use of offensive signs is not something we want to promote!
