The cop stopped the people for valid reasons.

I think it was not wrong for trying to share the Gospel with the people....WE ARE *COMMANDED* TO DO SO.

However, sending a letter later was a bit much.

Hopefully he will not do that in the future.

For Pete's sake, THE MAN IS A COP. It's absolutely irrelevant which set of religious laws he's chosen to follow. As a cop, and a citizen of the U.S., he has an earthly obligation not to abuse his powers of detention and arrest. If he can't stomach the contradiction, it's up to him to choose, or for his coordinators to end his stint as volunteer cop.

As a police officer in his official duty he has no dammmmm
business talking to people about his religion, much less send them a letter from their personal information he obtained through the arm of the law!

If you want to go around telling people about your religion and feel commanded to do so, then don't get a job as a police officer. The law protects all of us, whether we are Christian, Jew , Buddhist or Druids, or atheists. If I was preached to by a police officer about a bumper sticker and my religion I would wonder if I was dreaming and was living in the land of the Taliban!

As for all the silly posts about" You don't know if that really happened" we are assuming FOR THE SAKE OF ARGUMENT on the issue..that this incident did happen.

"The cop stopped the people for valid reasons. "

What was that "valid reason?"

Especially after you have handcuffed them.

Or at least not be permitted to preach in the guise of a cop.
