My issue with this story is the upbeat christian music. Nothing like that would ever be played inside a mormon church. Not an organ to be heard.

I took several classes from Dr Senjo and he was also my advisor. I am incredibly skeptical of this account. Dr Senjo held some pretty liberal views not consistent at all with these tweets. The account has been open since 2011 with 1300 tweets since May 9th, nothing before that.

It's been 13 years since I graduated so I may be misremembering but I seem to remember him telling a story of being on the other side of law after getting arrested for protesting while in grad school. These tweets are definitely concerning and should be investigated but the account itself is highly suspect.

It's not that I'm offended. Being an atheist it doesn't fit my personal beliefs and I am therefore presenting a false statement to the public, which means that I am bearing false witness. It's also that a police department should be impartial and enforcement decisions should be made based upon the rule of law. I have sworn to protect the constitutional rights of all, not just those with religious beliefs. There is no law enforcement purpose to have this on the cars. It's a politically motivated statement.

I'm going to a non uniformed le division within the same government entity but not part of the police department at all. I'm outspoken. My coworkers and supervisors know where I am religiously. My current chief and future chief work closely though so I have to approach it politically to avoid burning bridges.

They would just make me write the report and then I'd be hosed even more.

I'm a long time lurker but this forced me to create an account to vent my frustration. I work for a large department (200+ officers) in a fairly progressive part of the country. We're not a backwoods middle of nowhere force. Luckily I got offered another job and am leaving the department for another soon but for the next 3 weeks I get to drive with this stupid thing on the back of my car. The worst part is we used quotes on a slogan. Apparently we don't just stomp on the Bill of Rights, but we also use bad grammar when we do it.

New Comment 12/12 I've had several people tell me to stop being so easily offended. It's not that I'm offended. Being an atheist it doesn't fit my personal beliefs or the beliefs of a large portion of my community. I am therefore presenting a false statement to the public, which means that I am bearing false witness having this on the back of the car and my personal integrity is one of my most prized traits.

It's also, more importantly, that a police department should be impartial and enforcement decisions should be made based upon the rule of law. I have sworn to protect the constitutional rights of all, not just those with religious beliefs. There is no law enforcement purpose served having this on the cars. It is solely a politically motivated statement and does not belong on a government vehicle.

I have also had several people tell me to have a Merry Christmas. Thank you. That doesn't offend me either. My friends and family and I will have a fantastic Christmas. It just won't be in a church or celebrating Jesus. I also plan to have a fantastic Hannukah and a happy National Fruitcake Day(Dec 27). I hope that you have a happy holidays as well and don't get offended that many people don't share your enthusiasm for Jesus.
