So which of our resident TBL is Sgt Mcclure?
With his obvious lack of understanding on basic civil rights he certainly must be one of our members. |

Quoted: I want to know what the guy was shouting before the cops showed up and before the camera started recording. Sometimes these "Christians" are their own worst enemy, talking trash then claiming victim when they get arrested. I'm not saying that's what happened here but I want to see what happened before the video. ETA: if you're going to PEACEFULLY protest have someone record the WHOLE event start to finish then you have PROOF that you did not break the law. View Quote Watch the longer video posted. He walked up and the cop saw the sign and approached him. The guy did nothing wrong. He said the word “God” and the cop arrested him. Clear violation of the First. He should get a big pay day. I would like to see the cop denied qualified immunity because it is such a clear cut violation of his rights. Probably won’t happen but I have to think that a cop should reasonably know he was violating the guys rights. |

Quoted: SICK: Christian American Arrested For Reading Bible At Pennsylvania 'Pride' Event Damon Atkins, a Christian, was arrested this past weekend during a 'Pride' event in Reading, Pennsylvania, for reading the Bible aloud, causing significant controversy over First Amendment rights. Atkins, who was standing on the outskirts of the Pride event, was reading from 1 Corinthians 14:33, a verse that speaks of peace, when law enforcement intervened and arrested him. "For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints," the verse reads. In under a minute of standing on the sidewalk, Atkins found himself in handcuffs. WATCH: According to a court document obtained by The Lancaster Patriot, Atkins was charged with "Disorderly Conduct Engage in Fighting." The criminal complaint, provided by the Reading Police Department to The Lancaster Patriot, clarifies that the violation of the Disorderly Conduct statute involves intentionally causing significant public inconvenience, annoyance, or alarm, or recklessly creating a risk thereof. https://trendingpoliticsnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/IMG_5284-1.jpeg It states that Atkins, despite being warned by the police moments earlier, shouted derogatory remarks at an organization holding a permitted event, exhibiting behavior that was threatening, violent, and tumultuous. "The main reason I was there," he told the Lancaster Patriot, "was because of love. Because Jesus has taught me to love my neighbor as myself." Earlier in the week, he had attended another pride event, where a man approached him and menacingly remarked, "If I had a gun, I would shoot you in the head." Atkins believed that the message of repentance is often perceived as hateful simply because it does not condone the sinful behavior that is being celebrated by the culture. "What is love? Is it when your pastor tells you that you can be a homosexual and still enter the kingdom of God?" he questioned. "That's not love." When The Lancaster Patriot interviewed Atkins, he clarified that he had been cited for making "derogatory" comments, even though he was merely quoting passages from the Bible. "In this country, 'God' is now considered a derogatory term," Atkins lamented, expressing his disgust. "It sickens me." Atkins is scheduled to appear in court on June 16 and is hopeful that Alliance Defending Freedom will provide legal representation for him. Despite feeling discouraged by the pride celebrations in Reading and the conduct of the police officer, Atkins remains resolute in his mission to caution people about the perils of sin. "In the end," Atkins reassured, "all of this will be sorted out." Twitter reaction in link at top of page. Quoted: I saw the longer version, the guy who gets arrested does nothing wrong. The person recording isn't with the guy who was arrested, he happened to come across this pride event when out with his family. Here is an article with the full video. https://thepostmillennial.com/christian-man-arrested-after-quoting-bible-at-pennsylvania-pride-march I saw the original full video on Twitter, this website is something I found after the fact since most people are only posting the short version now.

Sickening, and even more so that some members on here want to try to suggest simply quoting scripture may make this arrest justified, at least one member here suggesting that, I am not even surprised he would lean towards the perverts.

Quoted: Doubt there will be any payday here. Charges will be dropped so there will be no lawsuit. View Quote He was taken for arraignment on a M3, which normally is handled through summons. I'm not certain if the defendant was from out of state (which would require arraignment) but he's got a Federal 1983 (think this is correct) action for sure. My opinion, the lesbian officer was the one offended and the Sgt. is a simp. Sgt. Simp should be fired ASAP by the municipality. |

Quoted: The Supreme Court has held that both “incitement” and “fighting words” are not categories of speech protected by the first amendment. Specifically if it is ”directed to inciting or producing imminent lawless action" and is "likely to incite or produce such action" or “tend[s] to incite an immediate breach of the peace" by provoking a fight, so long as it is a "personally abusive [word] which, when addressed to the ordinary citizen, is, as a matter of common knowledge, inherently likely to provoke a violent reaction". Not saying that’s what happened here, just a point of order. View Quote What was said that was inciting imminent lawless action? Being offensive or outrageous does not count. Snyder_v._Phelps |

If that officer was my direct underling, I would kick the shit out of him for writing such a vague, limp-wristed report.
If you're going to arrest someone under those circumstances, you better be pretty dam specific with regard to what they are saying, else you are just giving away the taxpayers' money, and now you have the world speculating on why you have a job at all. |

Quoted: Part of the reason no one listens to you is because this isn't what qualified immunity covers. QI is something like where you make an arrest based on solid probable cause, but it turns out the guy you arrested didn't actually do it. It doesn't cover blantant misconduct. You can't just go shoot some random person, and claim QI. QI covers mistakes that were made in good faith. View Quote |

Quoted: That he was shouting scripture makes it more personally disturbing to me, but I can't imagine the justification for that arrest even if he was shouting slurs. View Quote Because, to those people, he was shouting slurs. And the world is not as upside down as you want to believe. Do you think the jews weren't harassed by the greek, who practiced pederasty? Do you think the Romans and their pagan beliefs simply welcomed Christianity with open arms? This government of ours isn't based on a religious tyranny. It's based on democratic and republican principles. The deck is way stacked. And not in your favor. Most people in America are perfectly fine living without government intrusion in their lives. They established this nation knowing that they needed to keep the government on a very short leash. What you see on the streets right now is who and what our government is, and it's growing exponentially. Worst if all, it's doing so on our tax dollars and has resorted to printing money they don't even have. In the meantime, there's no expectations of service, no payment for services rendered, like student loans, and rampant destruction of free enterprise by these people, who are a protected class. All the things they do are what they do. You wanted the swamp drained. Now, you know the truth of this. That Brady bunch wirld you want to believe in exists only on tv. These people are mostly scum. And, they hate us. We are the people they are afraid of. We are the terrorist threat. In a godly world they would not even exist. |
