Here’s a simple proof for the proposition that there are no good cops.
Here’s a frustrating conversation. This is a woman from my old church. She completely misses the point and is unable to form a rational response to anything I said. She should be rebuked by her husband and her pastor for not having the ability to think rationally.
In reality, I don’t even know why she would be offended by my original meme calling those who support cops loyalists. If she has the typical erroneous understanding of Romans 13, she should be all about loyalty to the British and calling the Revolutionary War a sinful rebellion. I think she’s just generally offended that I don’t support police and she has a very emotional connection to the police. I have found this type of arguing to be very common.
What’s even more sad is the women will argue. Their husbands are silent. That has been the case now for 4 women. I’ve had one interaction with a man, who wanted to continue the conversation offline, which I did. And 4 women whose husbands are unwilling to talk in any way.
Unfortunately, I missed copying down one of her comments where she told me to call a crackhead rather than the police, and the original post was deleted. But here’s the conversation.
You can listen to this on double speed, but he makes some excellent points.
I stopped supporting cops in 2007 when I was harassed by cops and threatened with arrest while evangelizing on a public sidewalk. Those cops demonstrated zero knowledge of the law or the Constitution. They were retarded.
What the guy in this video says reminds me a lot of my situation. He did everything they said and demonstrated that he wasn’t drunk, but was still arrested.
The cops in this video showed how stupid they were. They showed they’re not interested in protecting anyone’s rights. Their victim says in the video that he no longer supports police.
Police are a satanic organization funded by socialism. There is zero biblical basis for their existence.
The next lesson to learn is: DON’T TALK TO POLICE!
That is your right and men have died for it. If you don’t use your rights, you may as well not have them.
The idiot government employee pulled over a guy for one reason that was shown to be false. Then, he still demands ID and his victim asks for a supervisor. The supervisor shows up and says he can demand ID from any driver regardless of whether they’ve committed an infraction. This is shocking stupidity. I’m going with brassy and bold ignorance from the sergeant rather than lying. I think he really is that big of a moron.
I posted this in a group of people from Midland, Texas (where this took place) and more than half of the commenters were abject boot lickers. Here’s an example:
Driving is a right. That “driving is a privilege” crap is preposterous. This lady is an enormous, embarrassing boot licker. She would have supported the Nazis when they set up checkpoints to inspect everyone’s papers. If the cops followed the law, there would be no video. Men have died for our 4th Amendment rights. Machelle is an unamerican loser.
Here’s another example of a bootlicker.
It’s no surprise to find out a government school teacher is a bootlicker. But if you go around doing everything the government tells you, you might as well have no rights, and all the men that have died for your rights died in vain.
And here’s a comment that shows why we ought to post videos like this in places that aren’t just echo chambers.
If you just want to get along with the cops and do whatever they say, you have no rights. The men who died for your rights died in vain. If you want to protect your rights, you might have to lift a finger and it may cause conflict or even a minor inconvenience.
This video wouldn’t exist if the cops knew the law and obeyed the law. The only law breakers in this video were the cops, and I have no idea why anyone would support their actions in this incident.
Over and over on this blog, I’ve asked myself and you, dear reader, whether a cop is stupid or lying when he breaks the law. I think the question has been largely settled by this video. This cop is just so stupid. I don’t think he’s the stupidest cop ever. I think he’s of average intelligence for a cop. Of course, average cop intelligence is far below intelligence for society as a whole.
You can see in this video, the morbidly obese cop say someone taught him the law, and he’s since reviewed the law. When quizzed on the law, he fails horribly. He abused a citizen, cost the city $125,000 and still doesn’t know the law. When cops bluster and talk big, you might think they’re lying, but they’re actually retarded. I’ve seen this over and over, and it has to be that the average cop is just amazingly stupid rather than lying.
Here’s the video:
When AHA started doing “Church Repent” several years ago, I thought, “How can they go to a church they’ve never been to and pick on them?” Over the years, I’ve realized that you can go to any random church and exhort them and it is a great way to tell whether they are good or bad.
When confronting an American church with abortion apathy and IVF information, the typical, bad church will say, “Why are you picking on us? Have you listened to a sermon? We love the Bible!” A good church says, “What can we do to help? We want to repent of our apathy. We want to do something.”
If they’re a good church, you can go to them. If they’re a bad church you can go to them. The object is to raise awareness of the abortion holocaust and stand up for orphans. Not to please people. Here’s an example of a typical, worthless, wicked church and pastor. Maybe you can hold out hope that they were caught off guard or need more time to consider the situation, but I don’t think so, based on my analysis. I would hold out hope that if they were humble and studied the Bible a lot more, God could change them but their errors are just so basic and egregious.

It starts out with an off-duty cop working security for the church. That’s the first problem. Cops are contrary to Scripture in many ways, which I’ve gone over in the past many times. I don’t have a problem with someone trained with the ability to use a gun roaming around the church property to protect people who are to a certain extent sitting ducks for a random gunman, but I do have a problem with hiring a cop, but that’s just a minor point so far.
A huge problem is that the cop, as is typical, doesn’t have any idea that a sidewalk is a traditional public forum for free speech. Anyone can stand on a sidewalk in any neighborhood with a sidewalk running along a public street and hold any kind of sign, pass out literature and speak loudly any message they want, even if it’s offensive. I think this cop is stupid and ignorant rather than knowing the law and intending to deceive. This indicates that he is poorly trained, and also that Christians aren’t out spreading their message. There may be limitations to sound amplification, and that would depend on local ordinances.
The cop doubles down on the stupidity saying that if anyone is offended by the message, it is disorderly conduct. I don’t want to be too critical of Matt, but I want to point out a couple things that he could have done better (from my armchair quarterback, 20/20 hindisight position), so that we can all do better next time. Matt should have said he was offended by the cop and by the guy that walked up on him saying he doesn’t want Matt to mess with his kids and eventually the pastor. Would the cop have written himself and those other guys tickets? No, he’d be put to shame for saying that if anyone offends someone, they can be cited for disorderly conduct.
When the cop says the church has asked him to leave, so he has to leave, I kind of suspect that he’s lying. Can anyone be that stupid? Surely he’s deceiving, but maybe he actually is that stupid. You can tell he’s quite stupid, but is he that stupid? I don’t know. You decide whether he’s extremely stupid or just that evil.
Starting at 3:12, the cop says he has to provide ID, because he’s being detained. Over and over again, there are copious examples of Texas cops demanding IDs. They can ask and they can demand all they want. No one has to provide an ID unless they’re under arrest per Texas Penal Code 38.02. In a couple of videos I’ve seen Matt, while in Texas, identify himself even though he wasn’t under arrest. Every state is different, so look up the law in your state, and generally, I’d recommend obeying the law because police, lawyers and judges are psychopaths and unpredictable. You can sue them later. But, don’t identify if you’re not required by law, either.
At 3:56, the jackass in the blue plaid shirt says, “Your rights end where mine begin.” This is just absurd retardation. No one has the right to not be offended. This is just shocking stupidity. How did we get to this point in America where people can be this stupid?
As they go on making fools of themselves, the biggest fool walks up. While the lame-brain “pastor” talks, the disorderly conduct talk is put on the back burner. I would bet that if the pastor had stood up for common sense and Scripture and said that it’s the cop’s job to protect everyone’s right to free speech, the whole thing would have been over.
If you look at this church’s website, you’ll see that this is Doug, the senior pastor. If you read his bio, you might even be impressed. He has a pretty good pedigree, suggesting he may even be reformed, which would put him in the top 10% of pastors as far as I’m concerned. The website of the church looks very good and biblical. But the shocking stupidity that comes out of his mouth in this interaction is just such basic false teaching.
As soon as the “pastor” starts talking, it’s all about him and what he’s doing and there is zero humility. Matt is there about IVF. I’d bet $10,000 right now that that church has members who have taken part in IVF and those people currently have babies frozen in test tubes, and the “pastor” knows about it and can name their names. Even if they don’t, I would bet $10,000 that he’s never preached a sermon against IVF. I’d bet another $10,000 that they are doing nothing more to fight abortion than maybe an occasional sermon and maybe donating to a crisis pregnancy center. But no one will take those bets.
One million babies are murdered by abortion every year. NO ONE has a strategy to fight abortion that is 100% effective at this point. Abolition is a glimmer of hope that the vast majority of Christians know nothing about. It is at least Scripturally correct, even if it hasn’t produced a lot of results yet. Our hearts should break and we should humbly receive any ideas or correction on this issue. Orphans are being murdered among us and no American Christian at any church has any room to receive Matt’s exhortation with the conceit this guy has. The way we treat unborn babies is heartbreaking. Keep that in mind while listening to this pompous, lost (lost as in, unregenerate, unbelieving, dead in his sin and headed to hell) “pastor”.
At 6:35, this evil “pastor” says Matt should respect the dirty, ignorant cop. He would have told Jesus to stop calling Herod a fox. He takes the Hitler hermeneutic in his interpretation of Romans 13. That is the typical, but wrong, approach towards Romans 13 among most Christians.
At 7:29, he says that he’ll call out Matt’s sin of judging. This is absolutely moronic. There’s no way this guy has read the Bible in decades. The Bible teaches that judging is good. Hypocritical judging is bad, but one of the main goals in Christianity is to mature to the point that you can judge properly (John 7:24, 1 Cor. 2:15, Hebrews 5:14, etc.). And, if he thinks it’s a sin to judge, then when he tells Matt that it’s a sin to judge, he’s committing the type of hypocritical judging that is forbidden in Matthew 7. I feel like I learned this stuff so long ago and I cannot believe that someone who has read the New Testament once in the last 10 years could say anything this stupid. I’m shocked.
Furthermore, the “pastor” has obviously NEVER done any type of public evangelism. If you do any type of literature distribution or public evangelism more than a couple hours, you will have the cops called on you. You will learn very quick what the law says. You will learn to stand up for your right to preach the gospel publicly. So this idiot “pastor” turns Matt over to the state. Rather than being wronged (which he wasn’t being wronged) he turns the matter over to laws created by unbelievers.
At that point, the dirty cop asks for Matt’s ID. What I would have done at this point, were I Matt, is to tell him that I’m not required to identify. As I said earlier, I would generally recommend, if there is any doubt about the legality of the situation is to avoid arrest or citation and deal with the misunderstanding via lawyers. I’d pay a lawyer if needed or I’m sure Matt has a pro-bono Christian civil liberties lawyer. I’ve had two situations where I’ve needed a lawyer, and both times Liberty Counsel helped for free, and I later made a donation. There is no shortage of lawyers who will take a case like this. In this situation where Matt was obviously right, I’d ask for the dumb cop to call a supervisor. And if the supervisor is just as idiotic, which is a real possibility, I’d be tempted to take the ticket or even be arrested. If you’re arrested, you will sue and win a lot of money quite easily. The only gray area in this case was the use of amplification, which wasn’t in the video.
I hope Matt did something about this, but he could spend a lot of time on these types of situations at the detriment of preaching the gospel as well, so I don’t blame him if he didn’t.
What’s the lesson? As far as you could tell by looking at the website, or attending the service, this would appear to be a good church. You could attend for years and be content that the Bible is being preached. Matt comes along and exposes the idolatry and stupidity in a few minutes. I support Matt and Church Repent Project in general. I oppose ministry industrial complex businesses like this one.
There are good churches out there. They would respond humbly and with sorrow for the orphans who are being led to the slaughter in our country. But you can’t tell whether the church is good or bad by looking at their website or even attending their services for years. One way you can tell is by standing in front with a graphic abortion sign. You will find out what kind of church they are very quickly.
I’ve posted about this many times in the past, but here it is again as this Youtube video raised the question again. You can ask someone, even a police supporter, “What percentage of cops are bad?” If they say 1%, you can show them a video like the video below or many others (go to Youtube and look up “Operation Rescue LAPD” for a great example).
If one cop does something bad, he could just be one of the 1% of bad cops. But what are the odds that 2 cops are bad and you witness those 2 cops being bad together? It would be 1% squared, or 1 in 10,000 that those cops would be in the same place at the same time. That you witness them or catch them on camera actually being bad together would be hard to calculate. It would be nearly infinitesimal. Most of the time 2 bad cops are just eating doughnuts, not actually carrying out evil deeds. What are the odds that 3 bad cops are together? It would be 1% cubed, or 1 in a million. The odds of 4 bad cops would be 1 in 100 million. The odds of 50 bad cops in one place would be like the odds of a monkey sitting down at a typewriter and randomly typing out War and Peace.
The bigger the bootlicker the police supporter is, the smaller the percentage of bad cops he gives you, the more crazy the numbers become. The only way to make sense of some of these videos is if 100% of cops are bad. Here’s another example of a bad cop and several other bad cops coming to his aid.
If you care to find out what the Bible says about the Ahmed Arbery case, the case of Michael Brown from several years ago is a good comparison. Bojidar Marinov gave an excellent, and thorough application of biblical case laws to that situation. Here’s the article in pdf format. You can download it and read it in whatever format you prefer.
I can’t tell if this cop is a man or woman, so that’s the first problem. The second problem is he or she lies twice until this guy calls his or her bluff. At least I think this individual knows they’re bluffing. Most other cops insist that you have to obey their every whim.
