Judge under fire for questioning if NYPD cops can be Christian because of that ‘do not kill thing’
A state appellate judge is under fire for trying to make a case that cops can’t be faithful Christians — because the job could include killing people.
During a hearing Tuesday in Manhattan before the state Supreme Court’s First Judicial Department, lawyer Jimmy Wagner contended the city should’ve never denied his client, NYPD Sgt. Patrick Marsteller, a religious exemption during the pandemic so he could remain on the job without getting vaccinated.
“What he’s saying is these vaccines in some method were derived from aborted fetuses,” said Wagner. “He does not want to be associated with those aborted fetuses.”
Associate Justice Troy K Webber fired back, citing the sixth commandment: “Does being a police officer conflict with Christian values as well? That, you know, do not kill the thing?”
Some critics said the Democratic jurist’s comments were out of line and part of a larger problem of lefties thinking police officers are murderers.

I wonder what is the “do not kill” thing? old Testament is Christian?
anyway, isn’t it “thou shalt not murder”?
