2009. Elderly Pro-Life priest is arrested and dragged away.

Well, they did it. A "[h]eavily-armed SWAT police" team arrested and dragged off a Christian pastor in the middle of a highway after he had held his church service because he was "inciting" people to go to church. As you can see from video evidence of the arrest, Artur Pawlowski is made to kneel on the road, with his hands behind his head, as he's been handcuffed. It appears to have been raining.
I had written just over a week ago how a judge had granted a warrant for police to arrest Pastor Artur Pawlowski using "anything necessary," but still, watching a pastor getting arrested and dragged away on a Saturday on a busy highway, along with his brother, Dawid, isn't something we should get used to, especially when it happens in a first world country, by authorities from our neighbor to the north. No wonder it received coverage from Not the Bee.
Rebel News, which has been following Pastor Pawlowski's legal plight, reported on the update, complete with video evidence. The breaking news article aptly noted that "Arresting Christians for holding church services is what police states do, not liberal democracies. This has to stop." They are also promoting a legal defense fund for the pastor.

My parents are coming out of there this week if I have to go slap the roadblocks around myself. That we’re pissed is an understatement.
The Canadians are not doing this. Out of control government is.
Pastor Art was on his knees with his hands cuffed behind him. The cops did nothing to help him get back on his feet.
Wow. That is so Nazi of Trudeau and his SS.
Speaking of Justin, doesn’t he have a striking resemblance to Fidel Castro? Just like Chelsea Clinton and Webb’s resemblance.
I guess tyrant is in his blood.

The priest in that photo is my personal hero, Father Norman Weslin.
He was fearless defender of the unborn.
God rest his soul.
they lifted him up and he stated he would not stand and told them to drag him.
I didn’t see that on the video I watched. Perhaps it was edited.
Can you give me the link to the one you watched?
Thanks!
Amen.
the original video of this thread did not have his voice over talking about providing finances to his defense. right as they picked him up was when he told them to drag him.
