The pastor of a church in Calgary uploaded a video of his encounter with police and other officials from the city there to ensure that the church was following COVID-19 guidelines, and the interaction went viral.
CTV News reported that Pastor Artur Pawlowski, the head of Calgary’s Street Church in Alberta, Canada, was holding a service on Saturday at the Fortress (Cave) of Adullam when the officers entered the building.
Pawlowski, who filmed the encounter, addressed the officials in a stairwell outside the sanctuary.
"Get out of this property immediately," he says in the video. "I don’t want to hear anything … out immediately."
Most of the officials don’t engage Pawlowski, but an unidentified woman seems to try and explain their presence. Pawlowski was not having it.
"Out!" he yelled. "Out of this property … immediately until you come back with a warrant." The officials and officers slowly exit the building, and Pawlowski followed them.
"Nazis are not welcome here," he then says. "And don’t come out without a warrant."
The pastor also called them "Gestapo."

Ezra Levant, the founder of Rebel News, retweeted the footage and said that Pawlowski’s response is "how you handle police who enter a church without a warrant."
"They’re lucky they only got a tongue-lashing: s. 176 of the Criminal Code makes it a crime to disturb a church service. Those @CalgaryPolice thugs were breaking the law (and knew it)," he tweeted.

Chuckle… I love how they sent the woman an officer to talk to the man, and he wouldn’t let her get a word in edgewise. Beautiful and perfect.
The male cops all stood there like little wimps, hoping the woman would take charge and arrest the pastor.
Emasculated male culture on display.
Do Americans have the stomach to do this?
Or would that be limited to the people that were on the wrong side of the Berlin Wall?
>>Emasculated male culture on display.<<
Not as long as these males carry guns.
Next time they’ll act with a vengence, and that will become the norm.
Re “Emasculated “:
Or strategy... thinking he’d listen to the woman and everything would go smoothly.
But the pastor was correct; go get a warrant. At the first request to leave they should have left.
While the LEOs (and the idiot mouth piece of Alberta Health) DID eventually leave, they took their sweet a$$ time about it! Those LEOs SHOULD have been aware that they were violating the Criminal Code of Canada S176(2)! It reads, "Every one who wilfully disturbs or interrupts an assemblage of persons met for religious worship or for a moral, social or benevolent purpose is guilty of an offence punishable on summary conviction."
Pure intimidation tactics on the part of the LEOs Stasi!
