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.....

I never bought into the back the blue cult when it came up last summer because that same blue will be coming after our guns in due time. Now some of us have yet another reason not to back them.
Seattle has become Sodom. And it sits right on a tectonic geological fracture zone .
All the Big G has to do is flick a finger and the land will be cleansed of these vermin.
Patriots who live in Seattle, sell and get up into the mountains, The BIG ONE is coming.
DNC sh*tholes are beyond repair and are just a sign of societal decay and regression.
Keep in mind this disrespect came from the police chief, almost certainly under orders from the Marxist mayor.
Individual officers may choose to attend anyway.
Cops are NOT your friends.👎
4 Before they lay down, the men of the city, the men of Sodom, surrounded the house, both young and old, all the people from every quarter;
5 and they called to Lot and said to him, “Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us that we may have relations with them.”
In the current environment, raw numbers don’t matter.
The ONLY thing which matters is which side can get more people to show up ready for a fight.
And we MOURN when one of them gets KILLED???
True. However the left is organized to do so. The right isn’t. And any attempt to organize the right will be taken down by FBI dirty tactics.
How many hours did that tub of lard spend in a patrol car?
That is really sad.
Seattle voters do not learn. It’s my hometown...very embarrassing:
“Seattle Police...Spat in His Face.” The Seattle police did not spit in his face. The Deep State appointed affirmative action scum bags did that not the rank and file.
They actually hocked loogies at them? Or is it a figure of speech? Because spitting on people is quite rude and I think it could be called assault if a conservative spit on an elite or protected class individual.
Yep.
From the article: “fully supports the equity” he said.
Equity is the new buzzword among the Left. Equity is not equality, certainly not equality before the law. Equity is the justice figure peeking from beneath her blindfold and putting her fingers on the scales to benefit a few at the expense of the many just much as if she is tipping the scales to benefit the many at the expense of the few.
To give favor to neither the rich nor the poor is scriptural. Likewise not working corruptions of blood is scriptural.
Wokeness demands some form of either, often to astonishing degrees.
If old Ahab had taken Naboth’s vineyard for a vegetable garden to feed the poor of Samaria what we call being Woke would demand its adherents to condemn Naboth even while proverbially standing at the foot of his premature grave and also for them to praise Ahab. Why? Because In that alternate universe version of the story Naboth was not pursuing equity.
Some posts should be double posts.
Yeah...libs like former friends of mine moved to Seattle and have helped destroy it for past 40 years..I’m from South of Seattle. ..it is very sad.
Honor the police all you want, it won’t stop them from shutting down your churches.
