Police are painting rainbows on the side of their squad cars in a bid to beat online hate crimes and 'give confidence' to the LGBT+ community.

Critics have said forces should be focusing on 'real' issues such as knife crime and that the colourful cars might seem less intimidating to the public.

The cost of painting the cars, described as 'hate crime cars', is 'quite minimal' but are believed to give a 'huge impact' on the community.

I thought this was a joke at first and had to double check but no... it's real.

Lord help us.

“the cars, described as ‘hate crime cars”

Shouldn’t they be called ANTI hate crime cars?

There will always be a bobby who wants to engage his hobby. Lip service is a trademark of the rainbow police car.

Even the UK is having its police re-imagined, while they desperately need it in Australia.

This is the modern day equivalent of burning a cross in someone’s front yard. It is designed to intimidate the enemies of the state.

Interesting fact:

The Lord’s rainbow has 7 colors and the LGBT one only uses 6.

In the scripture, 7 represents completion and perfection. While 6 represents falling short, imitation and satan.

The LGBT flag skips Indigo, which is the color of royalty, spiritual knowledge and wisdom, often connecting heaven and earth. The LGBT are telling us they do not wish to be connected to God, using his creation in a manner to portray their “Pride”, which is also a sin to God.

The Lord will help those who help themselves. In this sense, what doesn’t change is getting the hell out of Western cities. With a deluge of terrorists leaving Afghanistan, we’ve all been warned yet again.

Our police have been ‘re-imagined’ - they have become bullies and behave in a fashion never seen in this country before.

Even before this joke, the graphics paint scheme for UK police cars is an abomination. Too many glaring and visually confusing components providing little information.

It’s as if a committee of ignorant politicians acquiesced to include everyone’s crack pot ideas for the sake of appeasement.

Less is more...

OTH the towel heads will have more to fuel their sense of outrage.

There are many references within the bible, as a whole, that associate color significance, meanings of numbers and of course the meaning behind the rainbow. It’s a sign, created by God, establishing a covenant between he and man.

Research is your friend, especially if you’re curious about something. Not everything someone says should be spelled out step by step....through self-discovery comes learning, development and validation. Hence my trust but verify sig.

Yes, I watched a lot of video and also researched the issue of police excessive force law in NSW. Basically the police can damn well do what they please, and if someone dies in the process, OOPS! Move along now.

Civil law suits still possible against police departments.
