Happy I don't love there.MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) - The Alabama Senate has voted to allow a church to form its own police force.
Lawmakers on Tuesday voted 24-4 to allow Briarwood Presbyterian Church in Birmingham to establish a law enforcement department.
The church says it needs its own police officers to keep its school as well as its more than 4,000 person congregation safe.
Critics of the bill argue that a police department that reports to church officials could be used to cover up crimes.
The state has given a few private universities the authority to have a police force, but never a church or non-school entity.
Police experts have said such a police department would be unprecedented in the U.S.
A similar bill is also scheduled to be debated in the House on Tuesday.

If they are that large, why not hire a private security force?

I can only imagine the heights to which shit would fly if our local Mosque tried doing the same

And no, I wouldn't be okay with that either."It's time to kick ass and chew bubblegum... and I'm all outta ass."

It could lead to Mass incarceration.
Do Presbyterians celebrate Mass? Catholic jokes are far easier that Presbyterian ones.

Umm yeah. Seperation of church and state incoming. I hope this is challenged if it is true these police would answer directly to the church and nobody else.

This exactly. Allowing religious organizations to do their own law enforcement is a dangerous step down a path towards more extremism and religious conflict, as every religion is forced to respond in kind simply to protect themselves. The moment that anyone seriously suspects that these church cops are covering up or engaging in attacks on non-believers, it's going to get ugly. Originally Posted by Dr Assbandit

What makes anyone think their police powers will extend passed church property? You all act like they are going to cruising around down town trying to arrest people or something.
Me thinks Chromie has a whole lot of splaining to do!

The school district I went to had a police force. I'm unaware of any crimes that were covered up to protect the superintendent, or whatever. /shrug Originally Posted by Jtbrig7390

sounds like that "sharia LAW" they are so afraid of from the Muslims.
Ironic to say the least...

The US has the alt-right help governing the country. Compared to that Jesuslovers with guns are an improvement. Originally Posted by Nixx
