After Fight, Texas Cops Displaying 'In God We Trust' on Cars

Texas law enforcement divisions display the national motto "In God We Trust" on patrol cars after the Texas attorney general signed off on their doing so.
In early November, Attorney General Ken Paxton released an opinion that answered the question whether a police department or sheriff's office could display the national motto on patrol vehicles.
The Childress police chief, Adrian Garcia, had displayed the motto on patrol cars as a response to recent violence on law enforcement officers, as reported by Fort Worth Business in early September. Garcia told the Red River Sun, "I think with all the assaults happening on officers across the country ... it's time we get back to where we once were."
Breitbart Texas has reported extensively about the execution of Harris County Sheriff's Deputy Darren Goforth in late August. The deputy was shot 15 times in the head and the back while he was at a Chevron station to put gas in his patrol car.
In the summer, the Madison, Wisconsin, based Freedom From Religion Foundation, sent letters to 30 police agencies in multiple states, including the police department in Childress, as reported by the Austin American Statesman. The nonprofit's website states that it engages in the "critical work to promote nontheism and defend the constitutional separation between religion and government."
The Childress police chief replied to the foundation's letter by sending a letter to the group telling it to "go fly a kite," as reported by the CBC affiliate in the Dallas-Fort Worth area.
The Hutchinson County Sheriff's Department, and the Seagraves, Texas police departments, had joined in to show support, as reported by CBS DFW in late September.
On October 5, Texas Senator Charles Perry (R-Lubbock) requested an attorney general opinion on the issue.
In early December, after the attorney general opinion had been issued giving law enforcement the advisory green light, Angelina County held a ceremony to put the decal on the sheriff's patrol car. Pastors attended. Angelina County Sheriff Greg Sanches said it was very important to the values and the traditions of the county and the event was "history." Citing the San Bernardino shootings, and the officer who walked the citizens to safety saying "Stay behind me," he said that is what law enforcement does in service to their communities.

Paxton and family go to my church and live nearby. He is a good man but is being indicted on a trumped up charge. He will beat it! The democrats can't stand it when a good man has power in government!
Paxton AND Gov. Greg Abbott are both godly men of integrity. :thumbsup:

Under it should be. In b o we do not trust.
Very cool! Anything to make the libbys cringe! Hey, if it's good for coinage, why not the back of a Chevy?
Sheriff Joe Arpaio is probably wishing he had done the same first. BTW, I sent Joe and his deputies a very nice hand-written Christmas card with some big kudos on it last year, and guess what? Now I have a hand-signed "thank-you" in my drawer from Joe himself. So jazzed! :thumbsup:
If Prezident Obozo the muzzlim clown had his way, he'd engrave "In Allah We Trust" on everything tangible. Obozo...wow, I'd never in my life have ever guessed that the USA would be "lead" by a lump of steaming shyt.
