The city of Beaumont, Texas is backpedaling on their demand that the officers must not hold Bible studies at the police department. The Bible study, which had been going on for years, was a voluntary gathering of many faiths.
There had been no complaint until the city decided it was not acceptable.
The pre-suit letter, filed by Briscoe Cain, which is required by the Texas Religious Freedom Restoration Act, was sent to the city stating that the officers’ religious rights had been infringed upon.
Since the letter, the City has backed down from their demands, but Cain says, “No Deal” unless the city officials take sensitivity training, the officers may hold their Bible study in the room at the station where they used to meet and it is put into writing.
The City Manager, Kyle Hayes looked into applicable case law and determined that the officers can meet in the same room if it is available on lunches. The back pedaling would not be need had the City done its due diligence and checked “applicable case law” before denying the officers the Constitutionally protected Religious rights.

are they insane ??
hate to tell you but your numbers are completely incorrect…ovomit did not create nearly that many jobs…if anything he has only made things worse…
Research!! U conservatives Christians NEVER CARED about the Zillions of people STOPPED looking for work when Bush had 8%,9% unemployment rate!!
But u care under Obama with 5% unemployment rate!! Republicans BLOCKED unemployment benefits, u guys called them Lazy Bums, now u care about them?
Really it is getting evil out there ,then need to have the cover of the Lord
DUH
Tim Philpot, whatever you say about Obama’s accomplishments is irrelevant because of the damage he has done with his Muslim/Islamic agendas!!!
Don’t trust a word Tim Philpot is saying, not verified, smells CNN & you all know what kind of stinky smell it is
Tim Philpot trolling with lies are you? I’ll kill the first one. Unemployment in Seattle dropped only because that measures the people on unemployment not those who have timed out. If you do actual research and not regurgitate propaganda you will see the work force has indeed shrunken. Go to bureau of labor statistics and you can see non farm jobs in tacoma/Seattle area down by more than 10k. I’ll pray God lifts stupidity from you in the meantime.
Something like this? 😉
Stop COPS from having BIBLE study!!! Good Luck with that. Stop islam in our country its satanic!!!!
