Police Chief Explains Connecticut City’s Problems: ‘People Have Abandoned God’

Marchers Chant Disturbing Slogan: ‘One Faith, One City, One Baptism’

Bridgeport, Connecticut’s Chief of Police is blaming residents for the city’s problems, such as gangs and shootings, saying at a march to support his officers on Saturday, “people have abandoned God.”

“We need God in our lives,” Bridgeport Police Chief Armando Perez told about 50 marchers. The problems that we’re having is because people have abandoned church, people have abandoned God, and that cannot happen.”

Chief Perez is a Roman Catholic. The event was organized by City Councilwoman Mary McBride-Lee, who is also a reverend and a civil rights leader.

“Let’s bring God back in our lives, back in our church — bring our kids — in our city, in our schools — absolutely,” Perez told marchers, as the Connecticut Post reports.

Bringing God into public schools is unconstitutional.

Attendees chanted a disturbing slogan: “one faith, one city, one baptism,” which is eerily similar to Donald Trump’s recent slogan, which echoes Hitler: “one people, under one God, saluting one flag.”
