Can you believe this? Now they've put in a tub of water on the spot where George Floyd died so people can be baptized there. It's holy ground!

Attorney Andrew Branca discusses the Law of Self Defense pertaining to the New Mexico "skateboard to a gunfight" incident at
After Action Analysis: June 17, 2020 https://www.facebook.com/LawofSelfDefense/.
Today’s show covers the shooting in New Mexico this past weekend, during a protest about a purportedly offensive statue, in which one protestor was non-fatally shot several times. The shooter, Steven Baca, has since been charged with aggravated assault with a firearm in a criminal complaint that I’ve included below the video for today’s show.

I believe God can bring healing to people. I believe that an outpouring of the Holy Spirit bringing about a revival like has never been seen is possible if it is God’s plan. I believe that Jesus Christ is the answer to the sin running rampant through our country.
If it is a true movement of God I’m all for it.
If it’s not it will be exposed as false prophets doing the will of the prince of this world.

Well, now we have a whole new level to the protests. What happens when the police start to protest?

About an hour after the Fulton County DA announced murder charges that could include the death penalty for an officer who shot a suspect, the police officers started walking off the job. Word in some of the forums I am in says that the department is unable to handle calls over the whole city and was over 500 calls being held and not dispatched. They asked other agencies for help and were told no. Fulton County said they could not spare any officers because they are patrolling the unincorporated areas, State troopers are handling accidents only, neighboring cities and counties said they don't trust the Fulton D.A. and won't send their men into that county.

The city says there are some people who walked off and a higher number of people calling in sick but they are handling all calls and no drop in safety. Mayor asks police officers to remember their commitment to the community and acknowledges morale is way down.

Here is one article on it:
https://www.cnn.com/2020/06/17/us/raysh ... index.html

My personal opinion is that the truth on how many walked off or called in sick is probably somewhere between the two sides. I have no doubt that this is impacting the number of calls being handled. Nationally, a lot of officers are complaining about the responses to the protests and the general treatment of the police. Most acknowledge the need for some changes, but think the response is being overblown. This might get bad if leaders don't listen to both sides equally.

“ counties said they don't trust the Fulton D.A. and won't send their men into that county.”

That says it all.

I can see slow response times for calls. Why risk your life and career when you get no respect?

Blonde facing 80 years in federal pen for rioting.

Note to self: don’t riot, and don’t ever wear a custom tee shirt while doing it, especially with everyone filming it.

Speaking of shameful. A prominent Christian business man bowing down in shame before another man begging forgiveness. He should have licked the shoes clean.

Just proves that some folks will do anything for a dollar.

Boy Howdy! Them Democrats sure know how to make a City/State a great place to live. But yet the people there just keep on voting them in. When will they ever learn?
