Pointing weapons at the heads of law-abiding innocent citizens is not a “reasonable” way to catch one criminal.
You have just declared that you are willing to accept that your fellow men be threatened with the loss of their lives so that a criminal may be arrested.
That isn’t a biblical stance.
I don't have enough information to put that in its true context. It's possible that was inappropriate, and so is the reverse.
I do note the chief's claim from the article that none of those detained were among those who complained. If true, that should count for something.
What I've maintained from the beginning is that we simply have insufficient information to know what should have been done. I'm concerned at the overwrought antagonism rampant on FR toward law enforcement, which was in full evidence on this thread. They don't know, either.
The biblical stance is best depicted in Romans 13, which I cited previously. That calls for a basic respect for civil authority unless and until it acts in an ungodly manner. I maintain that, absent a fuller understanding of the facts, that still holds. Your judgment that my stance is unbiblical is, therefore, out of line.
