I hear what you’re saying. I understand what you are saying. But I dissagree. Because when you get right down to the nitty gritty, the cops are themselves violence. They are a troop of violent enactors of mob justice. They are the muscle behind the citizen’s opinion of justified violence. A democracy is nothing more than mob violence, but with official pretenses. The cops carry out the necessary violent actions on our behalf. They are a necessary evil.
I don’t want a city’s/county’s licensed muscle violating religious principles. I don’t want anyone wearing a “shield” that doesn’t understand that the ways of the “shield” are not acceptable in a place of worship.
Of course, for this system to work properly, the clergy must have a healthy respect for law enforcement. After all, without the “shield” bearers, who would protect the helpless and the the clergy from those that do not respect the clergy?
If you believe that a murderer or another violent criminal (crimes involving violence) should be able to find security from law enforcement in a church, you are welcome to retain that opinion. I will not share it.
Agreed. So take it from there.
Where is that "healthy respect" when a member of the clergy hides a U.S. lawbreaker in the church? Elvira Arellano is an arrogant Mexican who is determined to change U.S. law. She is a Mexican citizen! That she is employing her 8-year-old son as a tool in her misguided mission is most disgusting.
