This is why there won't be a target on my back Danny....LOL!
Who wins in this case? The moral majority or silent minority?
Double edged sword huh?
WEEKEND PROTESTS
By: T.H. Merritt, WZEP
It was a weekend of protests as residents across the area turned out to support God & flag.
In the town of Bonifay in Holmes County, 5 demonstrators showed up at the Police Department on Hwy. 79 around 10 AM Sunday morning to protest Police Chief Chris Wells’ decision to put the official motto of the United States and the state of Florida, “IN GOD WE TRUST,” on his fleet of a dozen patrol cars.
Deputy Chief Greg Yancey said the 5 were met almost immediately with nearly 200 counter protesters in support of the Chief’s decision. “It was incredible to see how quickly people reacted,” Yancey said. He said two of the protestors quickly left when they saw the large number of citizens who opposed them. As church services began to dismiss later in the morning, the crowd swelled to nearly 500 and the other 3 protesters abandoned their position in front of the police station.
Deputy Chief Yancey said things were peaceful but it was clear where the community stood. He said people who haven’t been politically active or have been quiet on issues like this are waking up. “People are only going to take so much,” said Yancey.
Several local Sheriff’s and Police Chief’s have added the IN GOD WE TRUST motto to their vehicles in recent weeks with donated materials or private donations. Walton County Sheriff Michael A. Adkinson, Jr. said during an interview on Friday, "We think it's important for the citizens in this county to know what our core values are."
