I don't agree with the lawsuit but I do agree with calling him out on it and getting disciplinary action

Maybe the lawsuit might be overboard, what gets me these so call "hardcore" conservative people who would pander the Constitution in a heartbeat are defending guy. He was a representative of the government and since he was duty he had no right imho.
I would be a televangelist....but I have too much of a soul.

The cop is an ass, but considering all the stories I've been hearing about police lately, I'm just glad he didn't shoot anyone.
I live on facebook. Come see me there.

My jaw dropped when I read that article. I can't imagine that audacity that takes.
Has he ever pulled over a Jew, or Atheist, or Pagan ??
And what about that unusual horny Jesus cult ? They could turn the tables on the cop real quick and have him running back to his squad car scratching his eyeballs out.

I bet their tune would be different if he were something other than Christian. Just sayin'.
Imagine their reaction if he started pushing Muslim beliefs . . .

I agree with these exact words.
I've had this happen to me with a doctor, I went in to have a check up about my heart skipping beats and ended up getting told I should loose all my old friends and get more religious friends in order to stop smoking weed and help my heart and began talking about Christianity.
In the end I just quit smoking weed, alcohol and energy drinks anyway without religion.
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.

This is where I'd fire my doctor. I don't give a rip what my doctor believes, that's her business, but I'm paying good money for sound medical advice, not woo.
This is in England on the national health service so it's for free. Ontop of that she was in a place called a walk in center, it's kind of a place to go when your problems aren't that serious and so you don't disturb real doctors.
I went in there once and the so called doctor was actually using google to diagnose me, I could have just done my own diagnosis in that way from home.
