Don't steal. Don't murder. Don't bear false witness. Don't take God's name in vain.
The Bible has clear moral instructions. And Trump, in speeches to so-called "faith" or "religious" groups, routinely flouts them.

This doesn't surprise me. I would think most police forces have a MAGA majority among the officers. If that's the case, they'd probably welcome fed grant money at the price of being Trump's community-based not-so-secret police.
I live in CT which, I think, has laws that prevent this happening here.
