Texas lawyer exposes religious hiring test for peace officers
Video depositions obtained by KVUE show Williamson County Commissioner Lisa Birkman and other commissioners admitting that applicants were asked about abortion and marriage.
“I asked a question on their view on gay marriage to all the applicants for Precinct 3 Constable and their view on abortion,” Birkman says in her deposition.
Lloyd’s lawyer, Wayne Krause Yang, asserted at the press conference that the commissioners refused to hire applicants who were not Baptists.
“If you don’t go to the church that they go to, you can’t have a job as a public employee in Williamson County,” Yang noted.
Purity tests for cops so you get cops are are purely bad for the job.
There is just no end to this shit now.
Everywhere we turn there is something mind-blowing stupid and wrong going on with police departments, cities and state governments.
They all appear to INSIST on the Right to shove their heads up their own asses and to take others with them.
Everything from rightwing Hate Radio to FOX news and the entire GOP are fanning the flames of this Wildfire of Stupid that now burns out of control in several states.
This stuff is being ENCOURAGED and the MORONS who perpetrate it think they are doing the 'right things' based on their pervasive delusional views on the outside world.
So while Kim Davis is shitting on couples who want to get married, this group of tyrants was trying to craft a police force filled with low IQ bible-thumpers.
What could POSSIBLY go wrong?
