Topic	Bakersfield bends over to Christians, agrees to put 'In God We Trust' on copcars
UnfairRepresent 06/07/19 12:42:45 PM #1:	After much controversy, the Bakersfield, Calif., City Council on Wednesday approved a proposal to add In God We Trust decals to both police and fire vehicles. I love the motto, said Councilmember Jacquie Sullivan, according to The Bakersfield Californian. Its meaningful. Its powerful. Those words are intended to encourage. Sullivans non-profit organization, In God We Trust America, has offered to pay for the decals. U.S. Rep. Kevin McCarthy, who represents Bakersfield, had said he fully supported the decals. Displaying In God We Trust the official motto of the United States on Bakersfield Police Department cars is a testament to each officers commitment to upholding the rule of law and defending the City of Bakersfield and its residents, he said in a statement to The Californian Lawyers for the American Civil Liberties Union showed up at the city council meeting to oppose the proposal, calling it bad public policy.

One council member, Andrae Gonzales, said he is Christian but voted against the decals. The God I believe in is much bigger than a bumper sticker, he said. City council members in nearby Delano approved a proposal last month to add In God We Trust to police vehicles. The city of Shafter, which borders Bakersfield, is expected to vote on a similar proposal later this month.

And think of all the people that time and money could help. If you're really Christian and really believe in God, surely like giving a family some food or filling a pothole means more than breaking the 3rd commandment and pissing on the idea of seperation of church and state I guess the Gods these fellas believe in doesn't care about humans and is a bit of an asshat --- ^ Hey now that's completely woke! https://imgtc.com/i/bHqCLJF.png https://i.imgtc.com/YnvkpvU.png <cite>UnfairRepresent posted [p:922921536] in Bakersfiel...
