Is this the new "I support BLM, so don't protest in my town" signs?

These are hardly the towns that experience any black social injustice and police issues.
It's like the Impala on the plains of Africa. They "Pronk" when a Cheetah or other predator is near to them. They jump up and down to show how fit they are to tell the predator that they would not be an easy target and a waste of time.

This virtue signaling is the same thing. They're hoping that predators will see the sign and move on.

what a shock, a brainless order follower. its good when military employees identify themselves as such because it lets you know that they have no ability to think.

its not just police on black violence, its non-stop abuse of the rights of blacks. its not limited to blacks but they generally have it worse and have every right to try to draw attention to their issues. remember stop and frisk? that was a blatant 4th amendment violation and the police committed the violation hundreds of thousands of times a year. black people are treated worse by law enforcement and many people consider their lives as less valuable than white lives.

there is no need to deflect to other issues, address their issues.

people who have been in the military generally lack a moral compass and lack the ability to think for themselves.

You can't be a soldier and have morals. They're trained to have apathy since they are killing machines and obey their superiors. Throughout human history soldiers kill, rape, burn things to the ground, and tortured people. That's why so many can't handle civilian life and would rather be back in the battle once they tasted what it feels to be a killing machine.
