Given dangers of job, why not ride with Jesus?
M. Reza Salami was offended by a Jesus sign. Big deal.
I'm more than offended and appalled that someone with such a title of prestige would be driving with an open can of alcohol. I would suggest to Salami to evaluate the reasons he was placed in a patrol car.
I applaud Officer M. Osborne for displaying the sign. Each day our law enforcement personnel's lives are put in jeopardy and deadly situations due to the moral decay of our society by drunk drivers, drugs, etc. I consider religion a personal privilege and would be honored to have Jesus in my car, by sign or in spirit, should I be on the road with Salami.
Apologies should be directed to Sheriff Barnes and his staff for time wasted that possibly was needed for more important matters.
We country folks (especially the cook) used to have a saying that "if you can't take the heat, stay out of the kitchen.”
Perhaps Salami would fare better to do his drinking in his kitchen, thus avoiding the offense by being exposed to a Jesus sign in a police car.
