Unfortunate. Additionally, I'm sure all the people of Chesapeake do not believe, so the "we" is a lie.

Those councilors have separated themselves from their own brains, never to be reunited.
"Protect and Serve" on cop cars is also a lie.
Wasn't something else on cop cars in "Robocop?"
Which brings to mind that the first time I saw "Robocop" it was on videotape with people that didn't realize it was satire.

The lawsuit against the 1st Amrndment would cost a lot more, too bad the city council uses taxpayers mo ey to defend their unconstitutional decisions. I guess they are riding the coat tails of in god we trust on US currency

Things like this irk me to no end. I sometimes make jokes about the cops getting together to go in and get a shooter and they pray first. We all know that only happens on Dog the Bounty Hunter.

"prey"
So all we need is someone from FFRF to send in a complaint and perhaps this will end up in court.

Every one of those councillors deserves a good slapping across the face for being such culpable imbeciles.
Waste of time and money. Of all the problems they can only worry about that. Stupid.

@TwistedMister I think the first currency that had that slogan was a 2 cent coin in the mid-1860 and then in the 1950s was when they put it on the paper currency because of McCarthyism.
@TwistedMister What kind of shit can turn that around in time to matter? I'd argue it has to be a sea change of national philosophy and unified voice but that doesn't seem likely. Some ideas are out there but America doesn't seem interested so down we'll go.
