Moved back here recently (where I grew up) after living in Los Angeles for many years.

The DMV offered a choice of 2 free license plates: normal or "In God We Trust" across the top.

According to a recent article in the local paper: those "In God We Trust" police decals are being adopted because of mistrust in the police after Ferguson, North Charleston, etc.

JEEZ how did that mistrust happen? Here locally, just a few weeks ago, a 19-yr-old white kid was shot and killed during an "undercover drug sting." He was sitting in his car, in the parking lot of a fast-food restaurant, when the sting went down. He panicked and tried to drive off. A cop claims the kid was trying to run over him, and fired 2 shots. The cop said he fired thru the windshield. The coroner said probably not, since the kid was hit in the back and side. Rumor says the coroner also used the word "homicide" to describe the shooting - not "self defense." Case is still ongoing.
