Last month, Kenosha police officer Pablo Torres was involved in two separate shootings, including one that was fatal.

This month, his face is on a billboard in the Wisconsin city.

“Thank you for your support, Kenosha,” reads the billboard, which pictures a smiling Torres and a dog.

The police association, which paid for the ad, said it was an attempt to thank the local community. But some people connected to Aaron Siler — who was fatally shot by Torres — said they were upset by the display, which went up after a rally in support of law enforcement, the Kenosha News reported.

“I saw it and I was immediately sickened,” Kathy Willie, a Siler family friend, told the newspaper.

The other call was for a suicidal veteran after his wife called police for help to save him.
