"We Support Our Local Police" Signs - What do they Even Mean?

Will suck police dick, no charge. At least that's what mine means.

i am too busy figuring out what my LIFE means to be bothered about what signs mean.....my brain is too full.

Somene in the family is a cop. The sign means what it says. This is not difficult. Don't be a troll.

Virtue signalling.

Both the left and the right do it, OP

"We hate black people."

It's a mix of R4 and R5. I remember seeing a rise in those blue stripe flags after Black Lives Matter started.

[quote]What do they Even Mean?

They mean... “We DON’T support Black Lives Matter”.

It means that the police can do anything and are above reproach in their eyes.

It means "please patrol my street more often, I'm afraid of my neighbors!"

It means “ We don’t have the balls to hang Confederate flags and burning crosses!”

I thought it meant, "Don't give me a speeding ticket."

Businesses suck up to perceived authoritarian figures that are part of our political discourse, only because it's good for business. They support troops, veterans, cops, firefighters, etc. Sometimes teachers or farmers.

Never surgeons or medical health professionals, scientists, engineers, or anything like that. Only jobs that get used in a political way.

Passive aggressive bullshit from deplorables. Same type of people who have that KEET CHRIST IN CHRISTMAS bumper sticker. Pure trash.

The far Left hates the police and wants them gone. I’m not even joking. They literally say we shouldn’t have a police force. They want them banned from everything.

Bullshit from Boris at R14.

This is what it means.

[quote] Bullshit from Boris at [R14].

Wrong, grandpa.

Authoritarian suck-up types.

It means we support our law enforcement when they shoot innocent black people but NOT when they suggest the President is a criminal.

The same people who were hall monitors in grade school.

They’re saying that they’re fascist bootlickers, OP, and that they hate black and brown people and approve of police brutality. The same as flying a confederate flag, getting a swastika tattoo or wearing a white Klan hood. Just more socially acceptable. But exactly the same, nonetheless. People like this would welcome a fascist police state.

The same people who are so concerned about crime in faraway Chicago because that's what FOX news tells them. Meanwhile they turn a blind eye to the criminals in the White House.

It means they gave to the local police benevolent association.

It means that the cops don't need to approach that house again.

Our son's football team got to play the finals because they "lost" that rape test kit.

Exactly, R16.

R3 must have one of those signs on his lawn.

It's code speak for "I hate the coloureds but it's 2019 so I can't say that out loud anymore."

R5 and R10 are correct.

I knew an acquaintance on facebook who posted after a police shooting that “coloreds need to obey the police and teach their kids to do the same.” I unfriended him of course. He’s who I think of when I see these signs.

It means if you get shot, it's your own fault. Always. (And especially if you're black.) The police are infallible.

R30 probably nails it.

That graphic is awesome. "Some of those that work forces, are the same that burn crosses."

R14: I consider myself far left and I don't want to ban police, I just want them all disarmed. Make them use the most dangerous weapon known to mankind, their own brain.

[quote]The sign means what it says. This is not difficult.

Well it's difficult for me to understand.

HOW are they supporting them?

Do they give them an envelope with some money in it every month?

It means "We're fine with a police state."

If I wasn't a pussy I would ask one of these people what it is they do to support the police. Reminds me of the I Support the Troops BS....I remember one time posting on Facebook that the most you can do to "support the troops" was to hold the government leaders accountable to make sure they only put our troops in harm's way unless absolutely necessary". That got some people a little miffed believe it or not.

They are either KKK or they have paid their busting insurance to the local force so they can do shit with impunity

"Support Your Local Police" became a big deal during the cultural upheaval of the '60s. It was such a common expression that it was parodied in the title of this 1969 film.
