CHILDRESS, Texas (KETK)

A Texas police chief is garnering national attention after responding to the Freedom From Religion Foundation.

Childress Police Chief Adrian Garcia posted to his department's Facebook page, he received a letter from the Freedom From Religion Foundation, "demanding we remove the 'In God we trust' off our patrol units."

He responded with the following letter:

"After carefully reading your letter I must deny your request in the removal of our Nations motto from our patrol units, and ask that you and the Freedom From Religion Foundation go fly a kite."

He posted his response to the department's Facebook page on Monday afternoon.

And it's not just anything having to do with the gov't that they want G-D removed from. A few blocks from where my beloved grandparents lived in daBronx there's what we called the Christmas House. During the Holiday Season it's lavishly decorated, so much so they even received an honorable mention in the Guiness Book of Records as one of the world's most decorated private homes for the Christmas season. In fact it's become a bit of a tourist attraction. This neighborhood is still largely Jewish, but NOBODY ever complained, it's a source of neighborhood pride. Yet, atheists such as these jackasses are trying to get the ACLU and any sleazy lawyer to comb through the NYC housing codes and building ordinances to find ANYTHING that would put this house in violation. Pathetic.

I’m pretty sure he gave me a speeding ticket going thru his town on my way to Ammarillo ..... All is forgiven now!!!!

The police chief is being pretty nice about this - my late Dad would have told them to take a flying f**k at a rolling doughnut.

And if he had "Allahu Akbar!" on the patrol units, would there have been a letter? Inquiring minds want to know.

FFRF is based in the Peoples Republik of Madistan, WI, run by batsh!t crazy Annie Laurie Gaylor after her even more batsh!t crazy mother who founded it finally died and went to...nowhere.

The Chief is being kind.

I would have told them to go preform an anatomically improbable act.

We have In God We Trust stickers on police vehicles here in Georgia

Freedom from Religion people, if you hate religion so much, please move to North Korea. Would you be mad if ISIS told you that Terrorism (er, I meant Islam) is the religion for the US?

I love it especially the look on Shepard.

Maybe the Chief could have suggested something a little more direct than "Go fly a kite"...?

My Sheriff here in Polk County, FL, Grady Judd, was sent a letter from them after he spoke in a church in his uniform. They said they would sue him if he spoke in a church his uniform ever again. It made national news before he even knew the emailed letter was in his ‘junk’ folder. He laughed in their face and told them to sue him. He also put a local atheist activist in jail when they disrupted a local council meeting because they pray before they begin. These are private citizens and have the right to pray anytime before a meeting, so it’s legal. Now when they busted the activist, he had drugs on him, too!

LOL Too funny.

I remember that, I’m over in Hernando. If Sheriff Judd ran for Governor, he’d have my vote.

Maybe her mother went to HELL, because she didn’t acknowledge GOD.
