"The Anti-Gang course was done by a religious group and included a lot of the typical hype of Satanism and included their ideas of "Satanic" material, including this calendar that they did themselves, and it got left in the material he handed out."
"and funded by a grant from the federal government. Our tax dollars at work. Never underestimate the stupidity of government funded special interests. Our tax dollars fund all sorts of ridiculous, or wasteful, and even harmful things."
The first comment was utter supposition by strategist...not based upon ANY fact whatsoever. The second comment (yours) only compounds the fallacy through hyperbole. Why are you trying to make some sort of connection between this outrageous piece of trash, religious groups, & our government using our tax dollars to support both? Lay the responsibility for this incident where it rightly belongs...on the incompetent cop who exercised p*ss poor judgement & distributed that trash to children.
BTW...If you want supposition that has a better than even chance of being fact, the majority of police departments put their rookie cops & those that are being punished for poor performance in charge of the DARE & Anti-gang programs. The chiefs of police usually don't give two sh*ts about the success or failure of these programs, but they get this GRANT MONEY, you see....
