THIS WORLD IS NOT A UTOPIA
From the eyes of a police officer, am I supposed to patrol the street without a gun as Andy Griffith portrays in a television show called, “The Andy Griffith Show?” The reruns are still shown on various television channels.
From the eyes of a police officer, in today’s emotional climate some people would want the police officer to carry a gun without any bullets and one in their left breast pocket if they had it their way.
You might think I am joking, but consider this. On “The Andy Griffith Show” there was a character named Barry Fife, the deputy sheriff. Sheriff Andy would take Barney’s bullets from his gun, give him one to put in his left breast pocket because he would not trust Barney with a loaded gun in fear of accidentally shooting himself or an innocent bystander. Barney never carried a loaded gun. Also, Andy Taylor was a sheriff without a gun. When you have the time, watch the show to see Andy without a gun and Barney is wearing an unloaded weapon.
From the eyes of a police officer, should I be an Andy or a Barney? At least Barney has a gun with a bullet. Do you think he would have a chance with a weapon pointed at him? No! He would be dead or injured before he could load the gun. From the eyes of police offer, why would Barney reach for an unload gun, is it to give the suspect the impression that he is going to be shot or hope that the suspect shoots at his legs, arms, or hand? Give me a break. I would be dead or injured.
SOWING AND REAPING FOR EVERYONE INVOLVED
Here is something to consider for those of us who live miles away from a police-related shooting. If we agree with the emotions or things we hear from the television or radio without waiting on the facts, we too have spiritually made a soul tie to the spirit or rioting, lies, looting, shooting and any violence that occur.
Your unbelief does not change spiritual laws and justice will fall upon you, your children, or their children eventually. When bad things happen to us, we need to consider what did we agree with that was later revealed to be untrue. Our physical location does not hide us from the spiritual laws of God. God knows our intentions and motives behind our choices.
From the eyes of a police officer, those of you who refuse to accept the truth have told the one and only lawgiver that gave us the laws that they know who is at fault. So they are going to kill, injure, steal, break into the businesses and burn them down to the ground because they are exercising their right to protest.
SPIRITUAL JUSTICE ALWAYS PREVAIL
Some of them may have never heard that the lawgiver knows their intention and motive concerning their behavior. For that reason alone, they would reap what they had sown regardless of they avoid being arrested. Also, this applies to those who use a police officer shooting or anything that involves the police to directly or indirectly incite riots, etc. Being a black person does not give us special permission or rights to do as we please. To use race to put fear in another race or their own race to get your way, regardless of the damage caused is wrong in the eyes of the spiritual lawgiver.
YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED
When I was a police officer, I had read the Miranda Warning, to those who I had arrested. For those of you who do not know what is, The Miranda Warning is a police warning which is given to criminal suspects who are in the custody of law enforcement in the United States before they can ask questions regarding what took place during the crime:
• You have the right to remain silent when questioned.
• Anything you say or do may be used against you in a court of law.
• You have the right to consult an attorney before speaking to the police and to have an attorney present during questioning now or in the future.
