And they are trying to show how woke they are, especially now that the POTUS has said churches should reopen.
They want to show that they are more "compassionate" than DJT because they are all about keeping people "safe" but the POTUS is only worried about the economy (/s)
I read this morning that Lori Lightfoot had her Chicago police goons pounding on the doors of a mostly black Baptist Church there and shouting through loudspeakers at them to desist and come out. It must have been terrifying but the pastor and congregation hung in there (fortunately, the police stopped short of breaking down the doors and throwing flash-bangs) and are now filing suit.
Sounds like Federal Marshalls will need to surround the church next week to keep the local constabulary at bay.
Shades of Little Rock, AR during the Eisenhower years.
Agreed on both...the churches are showing their loyalty to the Dems and their opposition to Trump by refusing to open, and there should be federal marshalls to protect churchgoers.
The first thing I thought of with the cops besieging and attacking the churchgoers was some of those ugly scenes from the past...and even the more recent Branch Dravidian assault under Janet Reno.
