In Minneapolis, fake sign warns of easily startled police [View all]
By Associated Press July 24 at 12:43 PM
MINNEAPOLIS — The fatal shooting of an Australian woman by a Minneapolis police officer has sparked the posting of at least two fake street signs warning people of “easily startled” officers.
The Star Tribune reports (http://strib.mn/2tDmGh3 ) one sign was spotted in Minneapolis and another in St. Paul over the weekend.
The official-looking orange metal signs read: “WARNING: TWIN CITIES POLICE EASILY STARTLED.” The signs have a picture of an officer with a gun in each raised hand, shooting in both directions.
Justine Damond was unarmed when she was killed behind her home on July 15, after she called 911 to report a possible rape. . . .

I know this was started after the killing of a white woman in Minneapolis, but BLM should do this in every city police have killed unarmed civilians.
