The Billy Graham Evangelistic Association (BGEA) is hosting dinners to express appreciation for the brave men and women in law enforcement. Yet after the BGEA’s president, Franklin Graham, invited police in Seattle, Wash., to attend one of the free dinners at a four-star hotel, the Seattle Police Department (SPD) issued a condemnation of Graham and his organization due to their support for biblical Christianity. Leftists and antifa in Seattle have demonized police, but it seems evangelical Christians are the lowest of the low — even the police want nothing to do with them.
Earlier this month, SPD Chief Adrian Diaz revoked a department-wide email invitation to the BGEA’s Seattle-area law enforcement appreciation dinner on May 11, citing concerns about alienating “our community’s LGBTQ members.”
“An internal email was shared this week informing SPD employees of a free appreciation dinner hosted by the Rev. Franklin Graham. Based on Graham’s history and affiliations, the email has raised concerns that the SPD may not be committed to the equity of our community’s LGBTQ members,” Diaz shared in a message on the police blotter.

“I want to make clear the Department fully supports the equity and just treatment of all people. The SPD did not sponsor this event and is not connected in any way to its hosts. Today I sent a department-wide email to rescind the invitation because its hosts do not share the inclusive values of the SPD,” the police chief concluded.....

Let’s face it - a lot of cops are power-happy a-holes who enjoy their positions of authority way too much.
But a-holes or not, it’s a lie to say that cops are more likely to use lethal force on suspects because they are black.
That is horse shit - just another Leftist lie designed to create political divisions.
Are your children indoctrinated? I hate to be harsh, but if you have lost them in that way...cut your losses and leave. There is no overcoming brainwashing.
Well they’re right in the Cascadia Subduction Zone.
It wouldn’t surprise me if something major took out the west coast some point soon.
The sin against The Sovereign Lord in that part of the world is great.
Diaz is most likely worried about keeping the socialists on the Seattle City Council happy.
And recall what else He said about those who are chosen:
Matthew 7:14
But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.
Which means the vast majority of people ever born, will reside in hell. Few ever find eternal life.
Bump
I think Mt. Rainier is getting to blow and I don’t feel as bad as I thought I would.
Hmmmm, I guess we'll see.
Woke police.
Although I support my local police, crap like this and the easy ride some police forces give Antifa are reasons I won’t overtly “back the blue.”
Kinda sad, since I still have those nice socks from PragerU.
PING!
This is exactly the type of ‘police’ that will be happy to go door to door and confiscate weapons and will be delighted to ‘try’ and load Christians into boxcars.
I agree but they really need to choose sides.
This elitist, woke crap is more along the lines of Verse 22:
“Thinking themselves wise, they became utter fools.”
“They hate me and they will hate you also”........Jesus
“They hate me and they will hate you also”........Jesus
Sorry for double post.
‘They’ didn’t spit in his face, the moron police chief did.
“Back the Blue is getting harder and harder.”
They are still government employees so it’s not too unexpected.
At this rate we won’t have police dept’s.
Seattle still has the statue of Lenin. Should we tell them Lenin’s opinion of LGBT folk?
