I mean......IS it offensive? Maybe if you already planned to kill kids.

Oh! I get it. It's offensive to cops. Got it.

[–] Dave@lemmy.nz 17 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I suspect the “Slow The Fuck Down.” one is the one they're saying is offensive.

[–] desktop_user@lemmy.blahaj.zone 15 points 2 years ago (2 children)

how the fuck is fuck offensive? Are they puritanical Christ worrshipers?

How the fuck is fuck offensive?

I don't know why I'm cracking up so much at this.

Chefs kiss

[–] WR5@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

Unironically, probably yes.

[–] oo1@lemmings.world 13 points 2 years ago

They could've done "Slow The Truck Down"

[–] Nouveau_Burnswick@lemmy.world 25 points 2 years ago (1 children)

As Boulder police commander Darren Fladung told Denver’s 9News, “I appreciate the fact that it’s drawing attention to the fact that we’d like people to slow down and not be on their phones, but there’s probably, again, a few more appropriate ways about getting that message out.”

Then why aren't you already doing those more appropriate things?

Thank goodness, cops are spending valuable resources on thisinstead of, you know, investigating real crime.

[–] Maggoty@lemmy.world 13 points 2 years ago

They're cops. Of course they took offense at the second sign.

Why isn't the speed limit 25 mph if children play there?

[–] i_stole_ur_taco@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 years ago

Children aren’t playing there. It’s just the guy living down the street has some priors.

Pickup trucks make me uncomfortable, who do I call to get those removed

It makes ~~drivers~~ politicians uncomfortable

[–] Crassus@feddit.nl 2 points 2 years ago

Kids, they are a hazard on a lot of workplaces

[–] ignotum@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Don't kill any kids today

"Aight, I'll come back tomorrow then"

[–] jaggedrobotpubes@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

But then it'll still be today.

Stupid smart sign!

[–] ignotum@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

How is that possible? After a day "today" becomes "yesterday", how is the sign able to resist the flow of time like that?

[–] Valmond@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

"Radar ahead!" scribbled on a cardboard.

[–] RogueBanana@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Vice is a real bitch. Why is it worded like 2nd grade English book..

[–] slaacaa@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Time to call in the National Guard

[–] 3ntranced@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

The urge to slap a "don't tell me what to do" sign below is palpable.
