* TokenGoodCop: While there is [[GreyAndGreyMorality more nuance than usual for this trope]], the rank-and-file of the local cops are bigots who aren't above PoliceBrutality. The [[spoiler:terminally-ill]] Chief Willoughby is a ReasonableAuthorityFigure, as is his successor, out-of-towner Chief Abercombie. They are both more insightful and rule-abiding than their subordinates.

* WouldHitAGirl: Such is Mildred's rage over Angela's unsolved murder and the controversy over the billboards that she doesn't think twice about physically attacking anyone who gives her grief, male or female. When one of Robbie's fellow students lobs a soda can at her car while she is dropping him off at school, she ignores his pleas to let it go and confronts the group of students responsible. When she asks a boy if he saw who threw the can and he nonchalantly replies, "What can?", she [[GroinAttack knees him in the crotch]]. She then asks a girl if she saw who threw the can, and when the girl begins stammering that she didn't see anything, Mildred kicks ''her'' in the crotch as well.
