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.....

Eff ‘em. Next time the Marxists call for defunding the SPD, be my guest.
Their reply is not inclusive so they lie.
Holy cow.
Seattle kinda sounds like Sodom or Gomorrah. Take your pick.
Back the Blue is getting harder and harder.
Weird beyond belief. But every city and city agency in the US (Dem controlled) hates Franklin Graham, because he tries to do good... but he’s not the one. holy, sacred Federal Government.
NYC basically didn’t let Covid sufferers go to his field hospital in Central Park.
Seattle will have to learn this lesson the hard way.
It’s called fear of the Left’s military arm (Antifa and BLM).
They are deeply in trouble, when the police fear the actions of criminals.
Welp, I hope the police never need my vote or support.
A beautiful, safe city when I was a kid - now completely ruined like Frisco, L.A. and Portland.
“They are deeply in trouble, when the police fear the actions of criminals.”
They have zero backing from their local and state governments.
Seattle, Chicago, Minneapolis, Portland, NYC, Los Angeles, Atlanta, Baltimore ... what do they all have in common besides sounding like a modern day Sodom and Gomorrah?
They're all BLUE CITIES run for decades by Progressive Democrat Morons who've destroyed them in the name of creating their progressive utopia.
This is what Democrats are.
The Christians have only themselves to blame. They comprise like 40% of the population? Faggots are 1%.
I would actually be interested to see how Chief Medaria Arradondo will treat the invitation. I have to believe the group will seriously attract many remaining Minneapolis cops plus many from surrounding areas.
This is the same PD that was afraid of the mob to go in and rescue a gun shot victim. AFRAID! They are the #@$#@!! damn law enforcers. Chicken shits.
The family of the shooting victim (a teen, who died) is suing the pd and city essentially for negligence. And in Federal Court as they know the state and county courts are farrrrrr left and will toss the suit out
People here on FR keep talking about picking sides... I guess they picked.
And Remember. It’s the POS Police Bureaucrat not the rank-and-file. I’ll bet this back-room “Chief” spent almost no time in a squad car.
According to geologists, Seattle is ripe for a major earthquake. Wipe 'em out, Lord. Wipe 'em out.
