I have fairly low regard for Tony Miano. I’m sure you can find what I’ve said about him on this blog by searching. But even he knows that it is no longer acceptable to work for the government.
In this podcast, he answered questions from several different people (and you should be thankful I took the time to listen to it, because his manner of speaking is drawn-out and repetitive). A guy named Otto asked the very last question. The question was whether Otto should become a cop. Ultimately Tony’s answer was that it’s not a sin to be a cop, but he would question the Otto’s wisdom if he became a cop in this day and age; Otto should not become a cop.
I’m going to sum up Tony’s reason. Ultimately the answer was that the government glorifies sin, so you shouldn’t be a part of it. Welcome to the club, Captain Obvious. That was a huge issue even while he was a cop. Abortionists rest easy at night knowing there are no good cops. But abortion has been legal during all of Tony’s career. It was OK for Tony to be a cop and help protect abortionists, but at some point the government crossed Tony’s arbitrary, subjective line, and went too far.
At least there is a line for Tony. All too many Christians seem to not have a line, or at least be oblivious as to what’s going on.
