RE: For those of you misrepresenting Christianity I ask this - 90Tiger STL - 10/14 15:51:33

Or understand, as the many Christian officers do - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 10/14 15:54:08

We know that's your working interpretation, 4Tigs, thanks an - 90Tiger STL - 10/14 15:56:41

Or maybe rethink the role of "policing"? - ummmm MU - 10/14 15:38:44

I think that is what it is - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 10/14 15:42:07

You think not dropping thieves and murders - meatiger MU - 10/14 16:13:33

That's a post ergo propter hoc point. (nm) - ummmm MU - 10/14 15:43:41

the police haven’t been hamstrung - pickle MU

- 10/14 15:43:03

Excellent point about cops(nm) - El-ahrairah UGA - 10/14 15:28:51

Perhaps not - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 10/14 15:32:58

you still don't understand what El posted - 90Tiger STL - 10/14 15:52:11

This, for the record, is "FIJIing" it (nm) - 90Tiger STL - 10/14 15:40:35

That is insightful - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 10/14 15:43:03

Thanks, it's a gift (nm) - 90Tiger STL - 10/14 15:43:26

No, you made a great argument for the defund movement (nm) - CulturedDan MU

- 10/14 15:34:02

Or perhaps it points to a misapplication of Scripture - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 10/14 15:36:20

Police officers are individuals (nm) - CulturedDan MU

- 10/14 17:00:52

I'll simply say that there was no caveats or exceptions - CulturedDan MU

- 10/14 15:18:29

I am not - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 10/14 15:20:18

He has never said such. (nm) - TigerMatt STL - 10/14 15:21:59

Jesus offered no exceptions. - CulturedDan MU

- 10/14 15:21:42

So either police work is unGodly - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 10/14 15:24:37

The romans killing Christians were employed by the emperor - CulturedDan MU

- 10/14 15:33:10

Absolutely if you misuse the power and authority - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 10/14 15:37:25

They weren't misusing their power. It was legal according - CulturedDan MU

- 10/14 17:03:36

But Israel is misusing their power slaughtering innocents(nm) - TigerMatt STL - 10/14 15:46:24

That is a valid discussion - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 10/14 15:48:19

nuh-uh (nm) - 90Tiger STL - 10/14 15:47:41

If executing your role as a Police Officer contradicts with - 90Tiger STL - 10/14 15:32:36

That is my point - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 10/14 15:34:59

No and if you think that's what my words imply, I can't - 90Tiger STL - 10/14 15:39:14

I agree with you - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 10/14 15:41:19

No, you're misinterpreting me and others all through - 90Tiger STL - 10/14 15:43:07

Read the OP - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 10/14 15:44:09

You're still off (nm) - 90Tiger STL - 10/14 15:44:39

Cops just need to be smarter than you; - glue MU - 10/14 15:37:38

Did he always turn the other cheek or did he ever - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 10/14 15:39:21

He used force but never killed.(nm) - glue MU - 10/14 15:57:54

And that is my point - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 10/14 16:00:06

I guess he assumes police must go around killing - TigerMatt STL - 10/14 15:22:43

No, but they use force. They arrest. They detain. - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 10/14 15:25:44

Turning the other cheek, again is about not returning an - TigerMatt STL - 10/14 15:53:15

I agree it can be evil to misuse force. But all along - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 10/14 15:56:15

false. handcuffs, weapons, etc are vital in protecting agai - 90Tiger STL - 10/14 16:19:07

And I have never disputed that - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 10/14 16:26:23

The entire time I have spoke of not repaying evil for evil - TigerMatt STL - 10/14 16:04:11

The rightful use of force by those in authority is a very - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 10/14 15:29:06

Would blowing up a populated house to kill a bad guy be - TigerMatt STL - 10/14 15:48:44

Let me ask with a question - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 10/14 15:52:13

No. Humans are not omnipotent. Killing people for what you - TigerMatt STL - 10/14 16:09:32

Do police justify blowing up a house with innocent people - TigerMatt STL - 10/14 14:54:31

Yes. - Spanky KU - 10/14 15:12:51

those don't make a moral argument for you, but you - 90Tiger STL - 10/14 16:16:29

Read your post again(nm) - Spanky KU - 10/14 16:40:17

No, police shoot people if necessary - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 10/14 14:55:52

A follower of Christ would shoot to defend self/others, not - 90Tiger STL - 10/14 15:10:14

So in way, taking out those who have already - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 10/14 15:12:22

no (nm) - 90Tiger STL - 10/14 15:13:01

We aren’t taking about bringing justice to those who - TigerMatt STL - 10/14 14:59:30

You said Christians are to love their enemy - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 10/14 15:06:16

Then don't be a police officer if you follow Christ - CulturedDan MU

- 10/14 15:20:20

You're the only person here thinking there aren't any - 90Tiger STL - 10/14 15:20:32

I have never said there aren't other options - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 10/14 16:01:21

Hmmm.... (nm) - ummmm MU - 10/14 15:11:41

Christian police officers should, and why can't they? (nm) - 90Tiger STL - 10/14 15:11:21

There are other jobs too(nm) - CulturedDan MU
