Fresno, CA's Chief of Police said that God made Police the ministers of Justice. said it during MLK [View all]

[annm4peace]

for the last 30 years Fresno, CA has been ruled by born again Christians... the kind that honors money and power over people.

The last 3 mayors tout their Christianity as have the previous Sheriff and the long time current Chief of Police.

This video is from the Martin Luther King Day march in downtown Fresno last month. Chief Dyer's says that God made Police the Ministers of Justice. The comment about being "God's Minister of Justice" is at the end of the video.

This is the same Chief of Police that has terrorized the homeless, who's police depart that has had very high incidents of police abuse and killings.

there are some hard working progressives in Fresno. They are in the heart of the beast and on MLK they have to walk along side the abusive City government officials.

****** how arrogant that Fresno Chief of Police uses Dr King's day to declare himself a "minister of justice"..
it reminds me of the Mahatma Gandhi saying:

"I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ.
