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?
I mean......IS it offensive? Maybe if you already planned to kill kids.
Oh! I get it. It's offensive to cops. Got it.
I suspect the “Slow The Fuck Down.” one is the one they're saying is offensive.
how the fuck is fuck offensive? Are they puritanical Christ worrshipers?
Unironically, probably yes.
How the fuck is fuck offensive?
I don't know why I'm cracking up so much at this.
Chefs kiss
They could've done "Slow The Truck Down"
They're cops. Of course they took offense at the second sign.
Thank goodness, cops are spending valuable resources on thisinstead of, you know, investigating real crime.
What is NSFW about that?
it makes drivers uncomfortable
Pickup trucks make me uncomfortable, who do I call to get those removed
It makes ~~drivers~~ politicians uncomfortable
Kids, they are a hazard on a lot of workplaces
The urge to slap a "don't tell me what to do" sign below is palpable.
We've got ones that show a big sad face if you're going over the limit, and a big smiley face if you're under. Works for me cos I don't want to upset the sign
Don't kill any kids today
"Aight, I'll come back tomorrow then"
But then it'll still be today.
Stupid smart sign!
How is that possible? After a day "today" becomes "yesterday", how is the sign able to resist the flow of time like that?
Why isn't the speed limit 25 mph if children play there?
Children aren’t playing there. It’s just the guy living down the street has some priors.
"Radar ahead!" scribbled on a cardboard.
Vice is a real bitch. Why is it worded like 2nd grade English book..
Time to call in the National Guard
