Woulda, Coulda, Shoulda

I had a little debate on Facebook with someone who said they are a cop. I made the point to him that this article makes–that we know there are no good cops, because abortion goes on because evil cops are there to protect the butchering of babies.

He objected that I was falsely judging hundreds of thousands of cops across the country. So I proposed the following test to see who is a good cop and who isn’t. Do what Operation Rescue was doing in those days. Get a hundred or more Christians to block the doors to a baby murder facility, and if a majority of cops are good, the protesters will go unmolested by cops and abortion will come to an end in this country. If most cops are bad, they will arrest the protesters. Operation Rescue did that dozens of times across the country and only one cop showed himself to be a good cop by sitting down with the protesters (he was subsequently fired). All the other cops proved to be merely the muscle of the baby murder industry. We all know that the results would be no different today, 25 years later.

He, like so many others, knee jerked a reference to Romans 13, saying cops must blindly enforce the laws of the government. He mocked my test, sarcastically calling it the “gold standard”. Here is what I wish I would have said:

“This isn’t the gold standard; it is the rusty scrap metal standard. Cops are so morally perverted that they don’t realize that they ought to stop murder even if it means disobeying a politician or judge.

The gold standard would be something like refusing to enforce laws banning smoking on private property, or refusing to enforce collection of lodging taxes. But that is a pipe dream where those who flatter themselves by painting “to serve and protect” on their cars refuse to protect babies.”

Of course, where Christians have surrendered the field of battle to secularists, many Christians don’t even know what is just or unjust, or that God has an eternal standard that says lodging taxes are theft and stopping people from smoking on private property is a violation of private property, and that government has no place in that or the millions of other things they wrongly force themselves into.

If you find yourself not knowing how to determine what a just or unjust law is, for certain, I would recommend this book.
