Police cars' 'In God We Trust' decals draw complaints

[jimnyc]

You know what, we already know that they will be removed, that's the world we live in today. No way in hell "I" would remove them, but in today's PC world they will cave. But it's still hilarious to watch the whiners get up in arms over and over and over. Once the drama is said and done, and removed like I predict, they should wait a few weeks and then move them to the ambulances for that area. And then when said and done, off to the fire department.

"We appreciate you guys being out there to protect our lives and serve us, but you can't have that word on your car, it offends me". <---- Seriously, losers?

What if an officer wore a 2"x2" pin on his uniform, with a cross, or Jesus.. on his UNIFORM. Would nitwits complain about that too?

DALLAS (AP) — A police department in a Texas Bible Belt community has placed large "In God We Trust" decals on its patrol vehicles in response to recent violence against law enforcement officers, drawing criticism from a watchdog group that says the decals amount to an illegal government endorsement of religion.

The decision by police this month to unveil the phrase in Childress, an agricultural community of some 6,100 people at the southern edge of the Texas Panhandle, follows a similar move by dozens of other police agencies elsewhere in the country.

Police Chief Adrian Garcia said he decided to add the decals in response to recent attacks on law enforcement personnel that have received broad attention, including the Aug. 28 killing of a sheriff's deputy who was shot 15 times at a Houston-area gas station.

"I think with all the assaults happening on officers across the country ... it's time we get back to where we once were," Garcia told the Red River Sun newspaper. He did not respond to an Associated Press request for comment.

The Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund notes that eight officers have been shot and killed in the U.S. in the last month — and four died in the span of 10 days — but shooting deaths of officers from January through September of this year were actually down 13 percent compared to the same period last year.

Other law enforcement agencies have cited different reasons for adding the phrase to their vehicles. Mark Nichols, the sheriff of Randolph County, Missouri, said he had it added to his department's fleet in July out of a sense of patriotism.

"It's our nation's motto and we want to be patriotic toward our country," Nichols said.

Well hell yes they would, they are liberal fools. They have to complain about something, what cracks me up is the so called atheist that don't want to hear the word Christmas or so In God We Trust, well hell why not, you don't believe in it anyway, so why the hell does it bother you.

I hope they win the legal challenges... but I expect they'll be forced to remove it after beaten in court.

And if an officer wanted to wear a pin speaking to his Zoroastrian beliefs?

As long as the wording of his/her beliefs were ALSO minted onto our currency I'd be fine with it.

That's a questionable standard.

If you don't like God, don't read the sticker. Last I checked you were supposed to be paying attention to the road and the other morons reading texts and bumper sticker.

Whoever put this on the cars in the first place knew exactly what they were doing, but they wasted the (i assume public) money to do so none the less =/

I know you know this is a poor argument.

We taking bets? I got money on darin over you 8 days a week.

The stickers were not bought with police money. They were donated by people who ain't asking you for squat. SO you might want to start over.

Courts - the supreme court - allows the phrase on govt property. (shrug)

Yep; a whole $50 bucks of his own money was wasted. Meanwhile, anti-Christian leftist storm troopers cheer when the Obama administration pusses away $500 billion on failed dolor and green energy initiatives.

You leftists have very strange priorities. Liberals have to be the dumbest most naive fools on the planet.

Yep, in Liberal loony land, spending $50 bucks of a cops own money is equivalent to a $500 billion Government fiasco to further a false leftist agenda.
