“You lie worse than Schiff!”

I don’t even understand what this means.

Are you saying Constitutionalists are lying about what’s in the Constitution?
Or are you saying Constitutionalists are worse than Schiff?

I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt by suggesting an increasingly evident (in your successive posts) likelihood: you are perhaps unaware of, or incapable of grasping, what the Constitution says or what it means, and how those principals apply to this scenario.

And you seem to assume that supporting the cops, no matter what they do or how they do it— collateral damage to innocent bystanders or their property be damned— is automatically some kind of conservative stance.
It ain’t, FRiend.

For Christians, supporting all government employees is our default starting point, based (among other texts) on Paul's command in Romans 13:1 and following:

1 Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God.

We are meant to integrate all of Scripture, and there are numerous other passages which qualify that instruction. For example, Acts 4 lauds Peter and John for their refusal to obey the Sanhedrin's order to stop preaching the Gospel, because doing so expressly contradicted Jesus' order in His Great Commission to preach ceaselessly:

18 Then they called them in again and commanded them not to speak or teach at all in the name of Jesus. 19 But Peter and John replied, “Which is right in God’s eyes: to listen to you, or to him? You be the judges! 20 As for us, we cannot help speaking about what we have seen and heard.”
