It offends me that these people use the words Baptist and Church in connection with their group. They are vile, disgusting, hurtful, lily livered, toad licking, snail sucking, slime slurping, mamby pambied, sewage swimming perverts. They embody everything that Christians stand against and I struggle to see how even Jesus can love them. But He can. I don't know if these people are actually Christians, but their behavior shows no evidence that they are.
Thank you Frank013 for sharing this.
Yea, I thought we would agree on this one.

I'm a retired police officer. I am aware that the Supreme Court has held this group of nuts has a right to protest. I am unaware of a recognized right to have a peaceful funeral.
That is technically true… however these people do tread on others rights by being vulgar, aggressive, bullish and threatining… during others personal family events… As far as I know the right to protest does not include being able to tread on the rights of others by hounding/threatining them and their lifestyle... that is harassment. But the Supreme Court cannot change the rules for one offensive group of hateful bullies… so now (as always) law enforcement has to deal with them individually when they violate the rights of others.

I worked through the demonstrations in the 60s and 70s and believe the police have to take the side of the law and not personal feelings.
I agree.

I grew up in a southern town in the 50s and the police sided with the KKK then. I didn't approve then, and I don't approve now. We had a strike at a brewery and the police who responded to reports of assaults and vandalism arrived to high-five the strikers and loudly strut around calling them "brother". I didn't approve of that, either. And, abortion clinic duty. If the officer can't leave his personal feelings aside he needs to request reassignment.
Again agreed.

The people in a town in Missouri shot and killed a miserable S.O.B. No one saw anything. When the feds arrived to investigate, no one saw anything. As an individual, I can applaud what they did. As a police officer, I would have arrested them.
And that is exactly what is happening here… individual opinions… my comment about the police not crossing the line is not a professional critique but one of common sense… had those protesters been free to go ahead as planned the police would have probably been responding to an assault/battery or possibly even homicide/s. instead they will now face a law suit for their interference… in my personal opinion this is actually a better solution.
But you’re right; an officer’s personal feelings should take a back seat to the law when on the job, however in this case the actions of the police may have protected people better than following the rules, IMO.

That which can be asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence.
