Her Facebook post, alongside the image, received a many positive and negative comments.
According to reports, the controversial billboard is located at a local liquor store parking lot. When he started receiving complaints about the sign, the liquor store owner called the billboard company, who promised to re-word the message.
A few hours later, the billboard read two new messages; one stating "Love, Respect, Support Law Enforcement" and another, charged with double encouragement, to "Love, Support, Support Law Enforcement."
Muncie police representative Sgt. Chris Kirby said in a Facebook post that both the liquor store and the police have "absolutely nothing to do" with the sign.
Later, it turned out that the message was created by the white owner of the billboard company, Gary Dragoo.
According to Dragoo, the message was 'timely' and intended to show support for police and highlight their importance. He insists the message was not racist.
