Dozens of Evil Cops

You really only have to watch a few minutes if you like. Here is what Mr. Marinov had to say about this video, and there were also several interesting comments I’ll include.

Bo said, “A conversation today reminded me of this documentary on police brutality, which I have watched many times with my friends from Operation Rescue.

Here, cop-worshipers, is your beloved police. Brutally torturing peaceful protesters against abortion, on the streets, in full view of the public. Not a single good cop there, out of hundreds. Not a single cop with a conscience; all brute beasts who eagerly jump at the opportunity to beat defenseless people, including pregnant women and old men, to break bones, or to inflict pain in any possible way just for the sheer pleasure of seeing their victims in pain. Sadistic perverts: this is the real description of your uniformed “heroes.” And some of these sadistic perverts would then go to church on Sunday morning, and false shepherds like John MacArthur would praise them for what they had done and even hold services in their honor.

Operation Rescue was very effective, despite the bad press it got. If it had continued, abortion would have been stopped back then, in the 80s, not by a political decision but by a grass roots movement.

Who then got in the way to thwart Operation Rescue?

The cops. Yes, it was your beloved, worshiped, “good” cops who went to the streets and applied every single ounce of brutality they could to protect the abortion mills from Operation Rescue.

Go ahead, worship the cops. Without them, we wouldn’t have thousands of babies murdered every day.”

Another commenter said,

Bob Vernon, LA Asst. Chief of Police, and elder in McArthur’s church was overseeing the torture that day. I wasn’t there but dear brother in the Lord, and former Las Vegas cop, Chet Gallagher, as I recall, was pleading with McArthur’s elder to stop the torture…to no avail.

Patrol officer, Greg Vande Kamp, in Sioux Falls, SD, and active in his Reformed church, hesitated when it came to arresting us back in the mid 1990s. (He had even asked me to come by his home where he begged me to give him an advance notice of the date of our rescue attempts, so that he could call in sick. I refused.) It was soon after he parted with his conscience and personally arrested me that he started rising in the ranks. He’s now a Captain and it wouldn’t surprise me if he made Chief one day…on the blood of the babies and in the name of Christ. Sioux Falls PD used mild “pain compliance”.

Bo said, “[A cop] can choose to participate in injustice, or choose to not participate in injustice. The position doesn’t justify participation in injustice. If cops had refused to follow orders, things would be different. Police chiefs took part in it willingly, self-consciously, as part of their assertion of police power. It was a religious statement by all, politicians, cops, and pastors. And the religious statement was: “We have no King but Caesar.” All of them are guilty.”

Some other commenter said, “I have a friend who is now a full-time pro-life activist who once was a cop who refused to arrest pro-lifers. He was fired when he was less than a year away from his retirement and pension. I admire him for his sacrifice. But I’d rather have guys like that on the police force than fired. I don’t blame the ones who are reasonable and still work within the corrupt system. We live in a fallen world. Sometimes the Daniels have to face the fiery furnace. But other times they can accept promotions within the system and function as prophets of God.”

Bo said, “I have been friends with some of the people in this video for 15 years now. Joseph Foreman (one of the speakers in the video) was my first true friend in the US, and my first church elder. I lived 6 months in his home as part of his family. I am still close friends with many of them. Some of them spent time in jail because of their involvement with OR, all of them had to go through confiscations, having lost their court cases to Planned Murderhood. Yes, it’s the same Planned Murderhood that is in the focus today that forced many of them into poverty.

And guess what: The cops were the ground troops for Planned Murderhood and for the abortion mills. It was not OR vs. the abortionists. On the street, it was the cops who fought for the murder of infants more than the abortionists themselves. In some cities, abortion mills were closing because of OR; abortionists were giving up. It was the police that never gave up in their fight for institutionalized murder. Without the cops, abortion would have been history by now.”

Bo said, “That’s why I am so outraged by statements of tyrannical cops like Sheriff David Clarke of Milwaukee, who said, “If black lives mattered, they would be protesting in front of the abortion clinics.” The truth is, Milwaukee has always had very strong protests against abortions, and Clarke has always been a muscle man for the abortionists, not a fighter against them.

Police must be abolished. It is an agent of tyranny and wickedness, not of law and order. We don’t need police.”

Look at All the Good Cops

It’s Boston PD policy for these guys to wear badges and cooperate with requests for their name. Of course, that would be losing a battle of the wills with a civilian, which these power-tripping thugs couldn’t bear. They aren’t there to protect and serve, they’re there to intimidate and harass.

And of course, it’s not like there is even one good cop to step up and say, “I will follow department policy, and we all should answer their questions.” They’re all on a power trip, and they’re all willing to stomp on department policy. Rather they stand idly by while they attempt to kick people off of a public sidewalk.

When Is Enough Enough?

At about 3:40, the cop says, “Are you some kind of Constitutionalist, crazy guy?” I don’t know about the guy in the video, but I would like the government to be obligated to abide by a written standard. That doesn’t seem crazy to me.

And, under God’s law, someone who pulls a deadly weapon can be assumed to be initiating violence, and you can protect yourself with force. Cops and government agents are not a special class of people with special rights in the biblical economy.

This is Insane

Kids can be irrational. My 3 year-old son said that when he grows up, he wants to be a truck. If they’re tired, they say things that are truly crazy while sobbing.

When they sob uncontrollably, you do what you can to calm them down and put them to bed. To me, it sounds like this kid is tired or frustrated. I seriously doubt that the best way to calm him down is have a man with a gun handcuff him.

Of course the real problem isn’t that a cop handcuffed someone else’s 8 year old for acting like an 8 year old. The problem is that the 8 year old is in a government school when his parents should be educating him at home as the Bible commands. The problem is that we’ve all been stolen from via taxes to support this insane, ridiculous system. The problem is public school. There should be no such thing as forced taxation and government education.

I hope these parents have learned their lesson, but I doubt it. They’ll sue the school district, win some money, and send their kid back to that same school. No one can take care of your kids and teach your kids like you can. That’s a parent’s job.

Bad Argument

carsguns

I think the government should have zero control over what type of weapons people possess. Christians have a biblically-founded duty to protect innocent life with firearms. However, the above meme, which appeared on Facebook is a bad argument.

Cars have an amazing bureaucracy surrounding them.  Maybe the biggest bureaucracy in human history. You have to license the car and the driver. You have to pay annual taxes on the car just because it exists. You have to buy insurance. The roads are owned and operated by government. For all intents and purposes, drivers have no Fourth Amendment protection. If you license it in a different state, you have to get the government to verify the VIN. Some states and localities require emissions testing.

If anything, I’d be a much happier libertarian if cars were treated like guns. We have much more freedom with guns than with cars. What right does the government have to do anything with cars that they do? It’s completely unConstitutional.

I’m all for memes that make a succinct point, but let’s think these things through before posting them.

God’s Law vs. Man’s Law

This takes place in California where an abortion abolitionist/preacher is speaking outside of an abortion clinic and had the police called on him.

I love what he says to the cops. None of us will stand before God on Judgment Day and be judged by California law. We will be judged by God’s law. When you’re a cop, they don’t allow you to enforce God’s law. You would be fired if you tried. Therefore, there are no good cops. It’s impossible to be a good cop. It’s like being a good communist or a good Nazi. It’s not possible. Cops check their personal opinion and their conscience at the door and enforce the law of their jurisdiction. Christians can’t enforce unjust laws.

What would a lone good cop do in regards to abortion? 

Whatever he does is going to lead to his eventual firing. So let’s just get that straight right off the bat. I’d bet that every officer knows how much he can harass and abuse people and still get away with it. He ought to seek out the abortionist and the employees of the abortuary for this treatment. He ought to try to make contact with the customers going in for an abortion and tell them not to murder their children.

Here’s another option:

I was reminded of this article yesterday. It is about how the Bible never refers to the laws of men as law of any sort, but as lawlessness. It’s fairly long, but worth every second it takes to read.

The unjust laws of California or the Colorado Revised Statutes that enable people to murder the unborn are not law books. They are books of lawlessness. Yet these cops are supposed to be law enforcement officers. So these people go to work everyday and think they’re enforcing the law, but they’re really forcing lawlessness on people.

This country isn’t going anywhere while Christians and pastors and church members keep coddling cops and telling them what a good job they’re doing. This country isn’t going anywhere until we start teaching Christians these truths. This country isn’t going anywhere until we start putting cops under church discipline.

And Florence High School Goes Just A Little Farther Down the Drain

This isn’t the first time Florence High School has made national headlines. A couple of years ago, administrators allowed a boy to use the girls’ bathrooms.

In the current fiasco, a teacher, for some reason that I don’t understand, is getting a $50,000 settlement because Christianity was a little too much in his face, I guess. I don’t know why everyone else who might have felt a little offended doesn’t get $50 large.

Paul Mason an attorney on the case said, “Government and public schools need to remain neutral on questions of religion so that you and I are not forced to [be exposed to] someone else’s personal religious beliefs.”

But Jesus said there’s no such thing as neutrality (Matthew 12:30). Academic subjects can’t be done in a neutral manner. There is no such thing as a brute fact. The concept of truth is only possible when you presuppose the Trinitarian God of the Bible.

So public school can pretend to be neutral, but it’s just not possible. They’re teaching the kids religion and philosophy with every subject. It just isn’t Christianity.

Christians need to get their kids out of public school.

DUI Checkpoints Are Unbiblical

DUI Checkpoints are sinful, unbiblical, immoral, gross violations of biblical law for several reasons.

1. Checkpoints require police officers to lie. Of course, lying is a sin, and “just following orders” or “to get drunks off the road” are not valid excuses.

How are police lying at a checkpoint? In normal circumstances, they can’t pull a car over without suspecting the driver of a crime (which is also an unbiblical concept). But at a checkpoint, they pull everyone over, and every driver has to give evidence of their innocence before being allowed to leave.

By pulling a car over, they are essentially accusing the driver of having committed a crime. They don’t have evidence against every driver, so they are lying about each and every driver that passes through their checkpoint.

2. Government agents don’t have rights beyond anyone else to forcibly stop and question people. There is no special class of people under God’s law. If you personally can’t set up a roadblock, force everyone to pull over and talk to you, and chase down and arrest those who disobey your order to pull over, neither can the government.

The Fourth Amendment to the Constitition is biblical and supported by Deuteronomy 24:10-11. Biblically, you can’t force people to submit to a search or questioning without a court order. To force everyone to pull over and talk to the government is an egregious violation of our God-given rights.

I’ve talked to people who have heard all of this and it falls on deaf ears. They respond by saying that getting drunks off the road is so important that all of the Bible verses and logic in the world don’t matter. That is idolatry. To say that we can reject God’s law in favor of our own safety, or that we’re so smart we can figure out a better way is to reject the lordship of Jesus Christ.

God’s law is best. Christians above all others must be committed to doing things according to God’s law.

So, now, with this knowledge, what should churches do with cops who have participated in a checkpoint, (or cops in general)? I think for sure, they should be placed under church discipline until they find a more God-honoring vocation. We should help them however we can, but there definitely needs to be some sort of exit strategy and evidence of repentance.

Exodus From Public School Begins

Right now, the exodus from public school has begun. It may be just
a slow trickle, but it will grow. Not because people all of a
sudden have become convinced that public school is a Marxist
indoctrination camp, but because it won’t be able to compete.

It costs a lot of money for public school. They waste a ton of
money, just like any agency that has little accountability while
spending other people’s money. Alternatives enabled by the
internet are going to blow public school out of the water based on
price and quality of education.

Before I had kids I never really thought much about this topic. I
went to public school, and I assumed that was the best choice.
When they changed it so that kindergarten was going to last all
day, I started looking into homeschooling.

We completed homeschooling my oldest son through kindergarten last year, and we’re planning for 1st grade. I think he is much better
off for the one on one attention he receives. We covered all the
topics kindergarteners are supposed to cover and more in only 2-3
hours per day.

My wholehearted recommendation is that you homeschool your kids. Never mind all the biblical issues that would demand parents
homeschool their kids. It is just plain old better than public
school.
