South Carolina city takes down ‘Lord’ monument honoring fallen officers after it ‘divided’ town
Fox News ^ | July 24 2019 | Caleb Parke

After literally scrubbing references to the "Lord" from a memorial honoring fallen police officers, a "divided" South Carolina city has removed the monument outright.

The City of Tega Cay City Council announced the decision to take down the memorial Tuesday in a Facebook post. Three references of "Lord" had been washed off the monument, which is a police officer's prayer and was in front of the police department, after some residents complained. But the decision to remove the three references to "Lord" also drew outrage.

City officials said they removed the monument while they sought to find a solution that "expresses our unwavering support and gratitude to those who risk their lives every day for ours."

Every monument that is torn or brought down is a win for the socialists! This is exactly what they did in Russia before the country fell to the communist! Folks we have to fight for the survival of this nation if we don’t consider your freedoms gone forever!!

“City officials said they removed the monument while they sought to find a solution that “expresses our unwavering support and gratitude to those who risk their lives every day for ours.”

That solution is to tell the “outraged” to go **** themselves.

I would be interested in the ethnicity of the ones that took it down. I believe its getting easier to identify the enemy.

Does this mean I have to take South Carolina off my possible “move to” List? I’m running out of States.

The person or persons who “divided” the county consisted of probably less that 3 people.

whatever the Left demands you do, do the opposite (if it’s something agreeable to you).

Do they want you to take down a statue or cross? Put another up. Do they want you to change the name of something? Take back the name of something already changed. Do they want you to have their standard for inclusiveness? Well exclude away, especially exclude the Left.

How many complained? 1 person? 2?

The silent majority can not remain silent, or we lose our country. It's that simple.

Don't remove the monument. Remove/recall and replace the city council with Americans.

Just say no to Comunism.

Tega Cay is liberal? Darn. It looked good on the internet and was a town I was going to check out as a possible place to move.

Oh well, now I won’t have to explain to visitors why it’s pronounced cay not key.

Hopefully, the Lord will remove them His watch. Let them make it on their own.

The modus operandi for the atheist groups is to threaten a lawsuit over any reference to God or Our Lord on public property. Small towns don’t have the money to defend against such a suit, so they give in to the atheists’ blackmail. Happens all the time.

Commies love patriotism, as long as they are running the government you are patriotic toward.

Commies hate God & religion as they hate competition.
