SALISBURY, NC (WBTV) - A week after a Salisbury pastor teamed up with the NAACP to express concerns about police mistreatment, WBTV has obtained video that contradicts the pastor's statements.

Reverend Bill Godair of Cornerstone Church held a press conference last week with the head of the Salisbury-Rowan NAACP to say citizens were being mistreated by officers with the Salisbury Police Department, and the Godair himself had been a victim.

"Approximately one year ago, I felt I was extremely mistreated by a Salisbury Police officer (I have never shared this with you)," Godair said in an email to Salisbury Mayor Paul Woodson and city council member Karen Alexander. "My wife was in my vehicle when this incident occurred and was scared by his actions. We honestly thought that I would be arrested."

A dashcam could have avoided the recent riots as well.

Roger that. A wolf in sheep's clothing. Kind of like the reverend Al and the reverend Jesse. If people honestly believe these charlatans are Christians, they must also believe the moon is made of Swiss cheese.

I hate to say it by Christians lie to if it were not so they would not be men even Peter live he was sorroful for it and repented later as must we all. For none is perfect and without sin save one.

I will add the man in this particular case seems to have let his political desires override his proclaimed profession I hope if he will be able to find a way 2 avoid this in the future.

What a disgusting vile man. He accused a man that was only doing his job of wrong-doing. He lied and put a man's career in jeopardy. Anyone going to this man's church needs to rethink things. No way I would support a liar like this clown. some_text

"I'm just a pastor/citizen [LIAR] who is concerned."

When a pastor lies we've reached a new low. Correction: A supposed pastor.

You'd think the rank-and-file would be clamoring for dash and vest cams, which would prove once and for all that 99.99999% of cops are good.

That's why I was shocked (shocked!) at the snide tone expressed at the idea by some on this thread =>

Listen to these lies and threats ....

Is this man serving himself or the Lord? He is now a proven liar so I have my concerns.

TC, that riot was going to happen no matter what. There are still those who don’t believe the video of Big Mikes robbery is not photoshopped.

Now cameras being on officers and turned on during officer/citizen interactions is going to be a good thing for many reasons.

One of them is to catch lying SOBS like this preacher in a slanderous and libelous trickbag, as well as any cops that decide to do the same.

yet, his congregation will ignore the video and hence, the facts.

this man needs to confess his lie to his church considering his role as pastor.

none of us are perfect and all are in need of salvation.

Apparently they either had them (dashcams) on order or they had just received them and had not installed them yet.

This “pastor” needs to be reminded, “You shall not lie” and “You shall not bear false witness”, just for starters...

He lies a little too easily; it is obvious he is quite comfortable with it. >:^[

As, I think, TIGER CLAWS knows as well, the Ferguson Police had purchased TWO car dashcams, sometime last year. They had not been installed due to lack of funds.

Sure.

Being a christian does not mean one CAN NOT lie it means we should not, even Peter lied, and regretted then repented as we all must for our transgressions.

Hope that helps.
