The duties of Christian cops, May 12th, 2021.

Introduction. So we live in topsy-turvy times, do we not?

That being the case, we need to budget for the topsy-turvy and the turvy's topsy.

We all need to do a little better at anticipating what is coming down at us, especially since it looks to be medium-sized hellish.

A few alternatives. Some Christians talk about the thin blue line, like we all still live in Mayberry,

and the only reason that cops would ever pull you over is that a bank was robbed in Raleigh, and the description of your car matches to get away car.

So keep your hands on the wheel at 10 and 2, and just do what the nice officer says.

If you get shot, then that would be your own during fall.

Other Christians have ingested the BLM line, which is not a thin blue one, but is rather a line of finely powdered hockum, and which they've been snorting like was crack cocaine.

They really don't object to the fact of police, but rather object to the fact that they are not allowed to be the police.

They don't mind jackboots at all, they just want them on what they deemed to be the appropriate feat.

There's an alternative to these two hard partisan positions.

A non-ideological Christian take is willing to state the obvious, regardless of which partisan faction is offended by it.

And here it is, criminals and policemen both share one important characteristic, which is that they both come of a fallen race.

Both are capable of grievous sin, and this should be recognized and remembered.

So without vigorous and intelligent policing, there are many places in America that would descend into some kind of hellscape almost overnight.

Those who want to defund the police are yearning for a kind of life that Thomas Hobbes once described as solitary poor, nasty, brutish and short.

And at the same time, there are a number of rotten cops out there, and there are a lot of cowardly cops.

The latter are the ones who say and do nothing when they know that the rotten ones are lying on the stand, or when they obediently go out to arrest some pastor for holding church services, or submissively accept the degradation of training standards so that the requisite number of women can make it through.

So let me give a few words of advice to Christian cops, and here's the framework for it.

No one is more deserving of our gratitude and respect than honorable cops, and no one is more deserving of widespread disgust than disreputable lazy or cowardly cops, and no fair toggling between the categories, the fact that you were restraining some wife-beater last night does not give you a free pass to harass the godly today.
