Bible verse taken off Michigan police website (June 4, 2020)

A bible verse was removed from the DeWitt Township Police Department website.

The department had been displaying a verse from the bible, John 15:13, on a page memorializing a fallen officer. The verse read, ā€œGreater love has no one than this, than to lay down oneā€™s life for his friends.ā€

Former FFRF Legal Fellow Colin McNamara wrote to the department requesting that the verse be removed, which the sheriffā€™s office has since done.
