Fake street signs warn of 'easily startled' police in Twin Cities
Star Tribune ^ | July 24, 2017 | Erin Adler

Posted on 08/07/2017 3:01:09 PM PDT by Sopater

At least two orange street signs reading "Warning: Twin Cities police easily startled" were seen in the Twin Cities Sunday.

Joe Morino brought an incredulous friend to see the orange street sign he just spotted in the Cedar-Riverside neighborhood of Minneapolis.

The official-looking metal sign read: “WARNING: TWIN CITIES POLICE EASILY STARTLED.” It featured a graphic silhouette of a police officer, a gun in each raised hand, shooting in both directions.

“There’s a side of truth to the sign,” Morino said after snapping a picture of it. “That tells you there is something wrong with the system.”

The sign, which was still up at 8 p.m. Sunday, was one of at least two seen in the Twin Cities Sunday.

That’s actually a pretty fair warning sign.

Notice the shooting has completely dropped off the media radar.

Probably because there hasn't been any "_______LivesMatter" riots.

Brilliant. Makes the point without being heavy handed.

Yes, it didn’t involved a member of a protected class being ventilated.

Rather a member of a protected class doing the ventilating.

Down the memory hole it goes.

Doubt those will stay up long!

I put a homemade “speed trap ahead” sign on a signpost like that. Then bent the bolts over so it would take some effort to remove. It was gone in less than 24 hours.

Yep. Won’t change until whites riot back. Then rotted empires will fall. I think it will happen across America and Western Europe.

This case has completely vanished from public view. It fit no agenda of the city government, media or left wing apologists so it had to go. I feel confident that if anything ever happens on the terrorist cop, Free Republic will be the first to let us know.

I know what’s wrong with the system. They put a Somali Muslim on the police force.

Friend of mine put up similar signs that said “WARNING: perpetual crime zone ahead” with a masked crook face in a poor, Democrat-voting city where he ministered, trying to caution volunteers and travelers from outside the city.

Local cops had all of them gone in 2 days but not before the local wildlife noticed, and issued a statement to the effect of “don’t put stuff like that up or we’ll have riots”. Nothing, of course, was said to address the truth or falsehood of the signs...
