On Easter Sunday this year, Calgary pastor Artur Pawlowski was confronted by police who interrupted his service. Their mission: to disrupt his service by checking for compliance with local COVID guidelines. Pawlowski ejected them from the church by loudly stating "Get out Nazis!", "Gestapo not wanted here!" and other similar phrases. At first, the health department representative tries to talk to the pastor, demanding access to the church. She was denied. After a short standoff, the health department representative and her police escort are themselves escorted out of the church by Pawlowski.
A video of the incident has since gone viral. At the end of it, Pawlowski explains that Canadians and Americans are now seeing a Communist/Fascist takeover of their countries. He lived through it in Poland, where authorities made his uncle "into soap", as he says. He does not want it to happen again.
This week it happened again. A health department official served Pawlowski with papers from a Canadian court. She was supported by what appears to be the equivalent of a Canadian SWAT team. The pastor gave them the same treatment they got the first time, and with the same result: they left empty-handed. Pawlowski said they could make an appointment and inspect the premises later, at a time when church services weren't being held. For some reason though, his would-be invaders prefer to interrupt ongoing worship services. They are just like the Gestapo, he says, and must be stopped.
The same thing happening in Canada is happening in the United States: law enforcement is being co-opted. Illegitimate and elected officials alike seem more interested in Gestapo-like conformity enforcers than in law enforcement.

If we had clergy like Pawlowski who stood against the NMazi goons as he did it would soon end.
More like STASI. The STASI could give the Gestapo lessons on Authoritarian bullying.
Two things are happening. Police are being militarized, and the 4th amendment is being decimated.
At the same time, local police are being weakened, while oversight of the police is being shifted from the local to the federal level.
And what will be the result, do you think?
Stories like this are the reason I could easily see myself signing onto the radical leftist “Defund the Police” movement.
The Police are Agents of and for the State. They are a member of the Executive Branch. They will do the bidding of the State.
The government probably wants to search while a service is going on. After all, opening fire in an empty church would just shoot out a few statues. These people seem to want blood.
