GAY CHOIR DIRECTOR AT HILLSONG CHURCH NEW YORK CITY PROPOSES TO PARTNER~PASTORS BRIAN HOUSTON & CARL LENTZ AFFIRM SCRIPTURE THAT THEY CAN'T FIND ABOUT HOMOSEXUALITY

Josh Canfield and Reed Kelly, billed as the Broadway Boyfriends, will marry in 2016. Both are Hillsong choir singers. Canfield is the choir director.
THE ENGAGEMENT/PROPOSAL:


HILLSONG NYC CHOIR LED BY 
AN “ENGAGED” HOMOSEXUAL 
(Friday Church News Notes, August 7, 2015, www.wayoflife.org fbns@wayoflife.org, 866-295-4143) - 
According to the New York Times for October 17, 2014, a homosexual couple, Josh Canfield and Reed Kelly, sing in choirs at Hillsong New York City, and Canfield is a volunteer choir leader. Canfield and Kelly were billed as the “Broadway Boyfriends” on the reality show Survivor: San Juan del Sur.” In a December 16, 2014, interview with Playbill, Canfield described how that he “came out of the closet” at Hillsong. He also speaks of his “engagement” to Kelly. He said, “I became truthful with my church. I’m a part of Hillsong NYC. I’m one of their choir directors. I also sing on their Worship team. They’ve been amazing as well. Nothing has changed there now that I'm completely out and with Reed. He sings in the choir as well.” After this was recently re-reported by a blog operated by Geoffrey Grider, Brian Houston of Hillsong Sydney issued a statement that that marriage is only for “heterosexual couples.” But in truth Hillsong is trying to face both ways on this issue, as so many others are. Last year the senior pastor of Hillsong NYC, Canfield and Kelly’s pastor, told CNN, “We have a lot of gay men and women in our church and I pray we always do” (“Hillsong New York Pastor Carl Lentz,” Christian Today, June 6, 2014). In the same interview, Laura Lentz, Carl’s wife and Hillsong NYC co-pastor, said, “It’s not our place to tell anyone how they should live, it’s--that’s their journey.” There’s where Hillsong really stands on moral issues, and Laura is brave enough to say so plainly. Carl Lentz said, “I am still waiting for someone to show me the quote where Jesus addressed it on the record in front of people.” Perhaps I can help him out here. What Jesus did say in regard to homosexuality was three things. First, Jesus exalted the law of Moses as God’s holy law. “Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven” (Matthew 5:17-19). The law of Moses that Jesus exalted as God’s holy law says, “Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination” (Leviticus 18:22). Second, Jesus limited marriage to one man and one woman as in the beginning of creation (Matthew 19:3-9). This completely destroys the biblical legitimacy of “same-sex marriage.” Third, Jesus said that His Spirit would lead the apostles into all truth (John 16:13). We find this canon of Spirit-taught truth in the New Testament Scriptures, where we find the strongest statement against homosexuality in the entire Bible in Romans 1:24-28. To separate the authority of the Gospels from the authority of the Apostolic Epistles is rank heresy, for we are told that “all Scripture is given by inspiration of God” (2 Timothy 3:16-17). Obviously Jesus left no room for homosexual Christianity and “same sex marriage,” and His teaching on this was very public, Mr. Lentz. The Hillsong churches are so “culturally relevant” that they are traitors to the truth of God’s Word, yet their music is influencing large numbers of Baptists and fundamentalists. When asked by a reporter why Hillsong is so successful, Brian Houston of Hillsong Sydney replied, “We are scratching people where they are itching” (“The Lord’s Profits,” Sydney Morning Herald, January 30, 2003). That is right out of 2 Timothy 4:3, which is a warning of apostasy. It describes people who itch for a new kind of Christianity, and it describes heaps of preachers who will scratch this illicit itch. “For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears.” That describes Hillsong to a “T.”

WELCOMING BUT NOT AFFIRMING? PERHAPS BOTH?
BRIAN HOUSTON, HILLSONG CHURCH, AUSTRALIA:

Hillsong Church Statement by 
Senior Pastor Brian Houston 
Months After Proposal
August 2015: 
"I wish to correct reports that Hillsong church has “an openly gay couple directing 
a choir” at our New York City campus. Hillsong’s position on homosexuality and gay marriage 
has not changed and is consistent with Scripture. As I have stated previously, I believe the 
writings of Paul are clear on this subject. Several months ago when one of our choir directors 
made an unexpected public statement regarding his engagement to a man who sometimes 
sang in the choir, it was a complete surprise to us as well. It is my understanding that they 
have not been involved in an active leadership or ministry role since. That said, we still love 
them and acknowledge that they – like all of us – are on a journey, and our role as a church 
is to assist them on this journey with grace and compassion."

HOMOSEXUALITY: WELCOMING OR AFFIRMING? 

(Friday Church News Notes, August 7, 2015, www.wayoflife.org fbns@wayoflife.org, 866-295-4143) - 
In the brouhaha surrounding the public statements about an engaged homosexual couple participating in the music program at Hillsong New York City, Brian Houston of Hillsong Sydney said, “We are a gay welcoming church but we are not a church that affirms a gay lifestyle.” He said that Hillsong allows homosexuals to be members of its churches but not to serve in leadership positions. What does this mean, though, and how does it work? How can a church welcome homosexuals without affirming a gay lifestyle? On one hand, “old fashioned” Bible-believing churches have been doing this for 2,000 years, but this “old” model is definitely not where Hillsong wants to go. According to the Bible, the welcoming without affirming is done by preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ to all sinners, welcoming all to repent and believe, and receiving as members those who do. It is very simple. This is what we see in the church at Corinth. The members had formerly been fornicators, idolaters, adulterers, effeminate, abusers of themselves with mankind, thieves, covetous, drunkards, revilers, and extortioners, but they had been washed, sanctified, and justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of God (1 Corinthians 6:9-11). This is the example put forth in Scripture, but this “old” model presents a problem for emerging churches in that it requires plainly identifying homosexuality as something that is sinful that must be repented of, whereas this is no longer culturally acceptable. Today’s homosexuals are proud of their homosexuality. They believe that God accepts them as they are, and if He doesn’t, He’s the loser. They don’t want merely to be welcomed to hear the gospel, and they will not accept merely being welcomed. They demand to be affirmed in their lifestyle, and in truth, Hillsong is doing both by allowing homosexuals to be members without repenting of the sin of homosexuality and without a new birth experience that radically changes their thinking and their lifestyle.

Hillsong Responds to Concerns 

After Choir Director Comes Out as ‘Gay,’ Engaged to Another Member

SEE: http://christiannews.net/2015/08/04/hillsong-responds-to-concerns-after-choir-director-comes-out-as-gay-engaged-to-another-member/republished below in full unedited for informational, educational, and research purposes:

NEW YORK  — Reports that a Hillsong choir director (or former choir director) has come out as “gay” and is engaged to another member has raised controversy nationwide and has elicited a response from the leader of the international chain of churches.
Josh Canfield, a Broadway performer, told Playbill earlier this year that he had become engaged to his boyfriend, Reed Kelly. Both had been featured on the reality show “Survivor: San Juan del Sur—Blood vs. Water.” He outlined that he is a choir director at Hillsong New York City and that he had admitted his homosexuality to his church.
“[I thought], ‘I need to be truthful with everyone,'” Canfield said. “I became truthful with my church. I’m a part of Hillsong NYC. I’m one of their choir directors. I also sing on their worship team.”
But he stated that after coming out to his congregation, “nothing changed.”
“They’ve been amazing as well,” Canfield explained. “Nothing has changed there now that I’m completely out and with Reed. He sings in the choir as well.”
On Sunday, a blog reported about the information afresh, lamenting that Hillsong New York City, led by Carl Lentz, “allow[s] an openly and unrepentantly gay couple to lead their choir.” The post went viral, generating over 63,ooo shares and generating concern from Christians nationwide.
Following the attention to the matter, Hillsong leader Brian Houston issued a statement about the situation, stating that both men are no longer in the choir. It is not clear as to whether the men voluntarily left or were ousted by leadership.
“I wish to correct reports that Hillsong church has ‘an openly gay couple directing a choir’ at our New York City campus,” Houston wrote. “Hillsong’s position on homosexuality and gay marriage has not changed and is consistent with Scripture. As I have stated previously, I believe the writings of Paul are clear on this subject.”
“Several months ago when one of our choir directors made an unexpected public statement regarding his engagement to a man who sometimes sang in the choir, it was a complete surprise to us as well,” he continued. “It is my understanding that they have not been involved in an active leadership or ministry role since.”
Houston added that although the information has come to light, “[W]e still love them and acknowledge that they—like all of us—are on a journey, and our role as a church is to assist them on this journey with grace and compassion.”
He said in a separate blog post that although homosexuals are welcome to attend the services, they are not permitted to serve in leadership roles.
As previously reported, Hillsong NYC leader Carl Lentz has raised concern over his lack of clarity on what constitutes sinful behavior, including homosexuality. Lentz says he does not like preaching about moral debates and once told Katie Couric that Jesus “very rarely” talked about “morality and social issues.”
“My Bible says, be attentive to individual needs,” Lentz told his congregation in a sermon, which was publicized by Huffington Post. “So I’m not gonna make polarizing political statements about certain things in our Christian community right now. No matter who says what, we won’t be pressured into giving blanket statements to individual needs. Never.”
Lentz is also known for his friendship with pop star Justin Bieber, who reportedly was baptized by Lentz last year. Celebrities often stop by Hillsong NYC to experience Lentz’s unorthodox messages, which are often replete with street slang and modern lingo.

Brian Houston Acknowledges Gay Couple
in Hillsong Choir
Published on Aug 9, 2015
In a press release the week of August 2, 2015, Brian Houston said he was shocked to discover homosexuals in the Hillsong NYC Choir when an announcement about the celebrity gay couple was made to the press earlier that year. This was filmed November of 2014 - a LONG time before that press release when he supposedly found out. Wake up, folks.


PLANNED PARENTHOOD'S BARBARISM: CECIL THE LION, THE FIRE OF MOLECH, DR. MENGELE

Cecil The Lion, The Fire Of Molech, Dr. Mengele, And Planned Parenthood

by Chuck Baldwin: 
SEE: http://chuckbaldwinlive.com/Articles/tabid/109/ID/3349/Cecil-The-Lion-The-Fire-Of-Molech-Dr-Mengele-And-Planned-Parenthood.aspxrepublished below in full unedited for informational, educational, and research purposes:

While the propaganda media and their friends in animal rights extremism are going bonkers over the apparent accidental harvesting of a lion in Zimbabwe, the video evidence of Planned Parenthood doctors selling aborted baby parts barely rates a mention. In this absolutely convoluted, confused, and crazy society in which we find ourselves, timeless, tested, and traditional values have been turned completely upside down.

It is no hyperbole to say that when a nation loses the moral conscience that serves to protect the lives of its own children, that nation cannot long endure. It has been over 42 years since the Roe v Wade Supreme Court decision legalizing abortion on demand was rendered. Think of it: no American under the age of 42 can even remember a time when their country protected the lives of unborn babies. This has resulted in a society whose conscience has been seared and whose values have been skewed.

In the minds of multiplied millions of Americans (including many lawmakers, journalists, television pundits, college professors, high school teachers, judges, and even pastors and ministers), an animal’s life has more value than a baby’s. Truly, did the Apostle Paul warn, “Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and four footed beasts, and creeping things.” (Romans 1:22, 23)

Only human beings are made in the image of God. Only human beings have eternal souls that will live forever in either Heaven or Hell. Only human beings have a God-consciousness and moral makeup in their hearts. Only human beings live together under a moral code of conduct.

Find two people copulating in public and they will be summarily arrested. Find a man who kills his fellow man and he will be summarily taken by authorities to face a court of law. Find a maniacal murderer like Jeffrey Dahmer, who kills and then eats his victims, and the outrage of human justice will be swift. Yet, these behaviors are daily occurrences in the animal kingdom. What’s the difference? One group is comprised of people made in the image of their Creator; the other group is comprised of beasts.

In fact, both Natural and Revealed Law teaches us that our Creator intended that man have dominion over the animal kingdom. “And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.” (Genesis 1:26)

Animals have served the needs of mankind since man was first created. In the Garden of Eden, God killed animals for the purpose of clothing a spiritually-fallen Adam and Eve. Animals have been used to clothe man, feed man, prosper man, protect man, please man, sustain man, ad infinitum, ever since the dawn of human history.

Our grocery stores are filled with the flesh of animals, which are bought and sold for one man’s profit and another man’s sustenance. The furs of animals have both adorned and warmed the bodies of human beings from time immemorial. Animals (along with fish and fowl) have plowed our fields, provided our milk and eggs, eased our journeys, and assisted our medicinal needs ever since God created them. Indeed, they were created specifically for that very purpose.

Even hunting animals serves a meaningful purpose: not only does hunting bring self-sufficiency and sustenance to man, but it greatly helps to preserve the animal species being hunted. Every State in the Union has game management programs that allow citizens to harvest animals in such a way that preserves the animal species being hunted. If suddenly men were unable to hunt wildlife, many of those species would soon disappear. Hunting and harvesting animals is just one way in which mankind exercises his God-ordained dominion over the animal kingdom.

Would we condone or authorize men to hunt and kill their fellow man? Would we authorize men to take the skin off of slain human beings and sell them? Would we condone barbaric men who would kill their fellow man for the express purpose of harvesting and selling their organs?  Such a thought is repulsive beyond description to any sane, rational human being. Yet, that is exactly what the abortion industry is doing to the most innocent and helpless human beings of all: unborn babies in the wombs of their mothers.

All of us are now aware of the videos showing Planned Parenthood abortion doctors bargaining over the sale of aborted baby parts--like an auctioneer would bargain over the sale of cattle. This is NOT a recent development. I remember talking about these-type news stories on my radio talk show during the Clinton years. How long before that it has been taking place, we can only guess. Probably from the inception of legalized abortion.

Currently a variety of products commonly consumed in the United States contain aborted fetal material, including spices and seasonings from the Ajinomoto Company; refrigerated coffee creamers from the Nestle Company; and Maggi brand instant soups, bouillon cubes, ketchups, sauces, seasoning, and instant noodles. The Neocutis Company uses aborted baby material in their anti-aging skin creams.

A host of vaccines contain aborted baby material, including MMR II for measles, mumps, and rubella (Merck); ProQuad: MMR plus Chickenpox (Merck); Varivax for Chickenpox (Merck); Havrix for Hepatitis A (Glaxo SmithKline); Twinrix for Hepatitis A and B combo (Glaxo); Zostavax for shingles (Merck); Imovax for rabies (Sanofi Pasteur); Acambis 1000 for Smallpox (Acambis); etc.

See the report here:

Those who choose to donate their organs to medical science after their natural death are certainly morally justified. If a baby dies from natural causes and the parents decide to donate the baby’s organs to medical science, they, too, are morally justified--but to purposely murder a human being (born or unborn) for the intention of financial profit must be placed among the most evil and wicked of crimes.

The ancient pagan nations of the Canaanites, Ammonites, and Baalites would take their own children and burn them to death as sacrifices to the god Molech. Have you ever researched what a saline abortion does? Using this method of abortion, the unborn baby is chemically burned to death. And what is the god that these precious babies are being sacrificed to? The god of convenience, maybe? Oh, yes, and the god of money, for sure!

Dr. Joseph Mengele was the notorious Nazi doctor who is reputed to have superintended over the deaths of more than 400,000 people at Auschwitz. He also reportedly kept thousands of people alive so as to perform merciless and tortuous experiments on them. And all of this was done in the name of “medical research.” Eyewitnesses said that during his experiments, he would often cut living babies out of their mothers’ wombs and simply toss them into the oven.

To this, Matt Barber writes, “Cryin’ shame. Were he [Mengele] alive today and working for Planned Parenthood, Mengele’s abortion could have easily yielded an extra $300 for this ‘intact specimen.’”

See Matt’s column here:


But even after the video evidence of Planned Parenthood abortionists bargaining over the sale of aborted baby parts, our U.S. Senate cannot even muster enough votes to defund this sadistic organization. And the House of Representatives decided that taking a recess was more important than even voting on the matter. Yes, folks, your tax dollars and mine are supporting the abortion doctors at Planned Parenthood.

And lest my devout Republican friends immediately argue that the majority of senators that voted to not defund PP were Democrats, let me remind you that for half of G.W. Bush’s eight years in office, the Republican Party controlled the entire federal government: the White House and both houses of Congress. Yet, the GOP made absolutely NO ATTEMPT to defund Planned Parenthood. Republicans had plenty of opportunity to defund these baby killers, but they chose to do NOTHING. In truth, both parties in Washington, D.C., are dripping with the innocent blood of millions of innocent unborn babies.

Legalized abortion has seared the conscience of America. Is it any wonder that SCOTUS recently legalized same-sex marriage? Over four decades of the callous slaughter of unborn babies has warped our country’s entire value system.

Right after the verses in Romans chapter one that I quoted earlier come these verses: “For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:  And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.” (Vss. 26, 27)

The legalization and social promotion of sodomy is the direct judgment of God upon a people whose value system places the lives and worth of beasts above the lives and worth of human beings who are created in the image of God.

Certainly, no man filled with the love of God will deliberately and purposely mistreat a family pet or even a wild animal. “A righteous man regardeth the life of his beast.” (Proverbs 12:10)

Ethical hunters desire a clean kill. Follow-up shots on a downed, wounded animal are for the intent of ending its misery. I’m sure this was the case for the dentist who accidentally killed a protected lion in Zimbabwe.

In my mind, the doctor is telling the truth when he says he didn’t realize that the lion was protected. Remember, the man had paid over $50,000 for his lion hunt in Zimbabwe. Big game hunting is a major industry there. Remember, too, that he had a local guide. It was the guide’s responsibility to make sure that his hunter/guest followed all of the regulations and protocols relative to the animal he was hunting. If we are going to be outraged at the killing of this beast, we should be outraged with the Zimbabwean guide. On a guided hunt, no hunter takes a trophy without the express permission of his or her guide. To think that this dentist would pay that kind of money and submit himself to the instruction and supervision of a local guide and then turn around and deliberately defy his guide and harvest an illegal animal is ludicrous. Truly, if the American hunter failed to realize the animal was protected, it was positively the guide’s fault.

As it is, this dentist is in hiding for fear of his life and is the subject of just about every type of verbal, emotional, and personal abuse possible. At the same time, however, the baby killers at Planned Parenthood receive the approbation, and even federal funding, of the U.S. government, and enjoy the politically-correct protection of the mainstream media--as well as many celebrities, entertainers, college professors, and even State governors, legislators, and attorney generals.

Folks, we are watching a nation die in front of our very eyes. People who cannot tell the difference between human life and animal life, people who value animal life above human life, and people who are outraged over the accidental killing of a lion, but who, at the same time, condone the wanton and deliberate murder of innocent unborn babies, are people who are void of any semblance of a civilized mind.

America is following the path of condemned nations before us. Meanwhile, the churches of America continue their fun, frolicking, and frivolity. So, tell me again who is really to blame.

Video: Cop Draws Sidearm on Man for Filming
A California police officer drew his firearm on a man who was merely filming in his own neighborhood, in an intense moment caught on film.
The incident began last Wednesday when Rohnert Park resident Don McComas says he noticed an officer in a patrol vehicle observing him while he latched his boat onto his SUV.
“I stood up and just watched him,” McComas described. “He ever so slowly pulled away, circled the court opposite my house and then just parked facing my house. After an honest couple of minutes I pulled out my camera and pressed record.”
At the start of filming, the officer pulls into and stops in the middle of McComas’ cul-de-sac and appears to call in his license plate number.
The officer then proceeds to draw his cell phone and bizzarely begins to film McComas.
“He thinks he’s being funny now,” McComas comments.
“Go ahead and take your hand out of your pocket,” the unidentified officer upon exiting the cruiser orders McComas, who refuses saying, “No sir I’ve done absolutely nothing. No.”
The incident takes a serious turn when the officer removes his sidearm from his holster and begins approaching McComas menacingly.

“As minor as some would say it was, when I saw his gun gripped in his hand I really thought he was going to shoot me and claim my hand was in my pocket,” McComas says in the Youtube video description.
When McComas demands to know why the officer got out of his car, the officer replies, “You’re taking a picture of me, I’m taking a picture of you.”
The officer then argues he has the right to be on the sidewalk outside of the man’s house, as McComas expresses his family has been persistently harassed by police.
“What’s wrong with you, man?” the officer asks.
“Your station is corrupt,” McComas answers.
“Oh ok,” the officer says, before asking, “Are you some kind of a constitutionalist? Crazy guy or something like that?”
After cooling down, the officer walks back to his vehicle defeated, telling McComas to “go ahead and put it on Youtube.”
The video is sparking outrage, with many police accountability activist groups calling out the flagrant disregard for the rule of law and common decency.
“This is a blatant abuse of power and a disgrace to the man, as well as to the Rohnert Park Police Department if they choose to ignore their officers extreme methods,” Cop Block notes.
Yesterday, the mayor and city manager of the City of Rohnert Park released a statement saying they plan to “conduct an internal review to verify that appropriate protocols were followed.”
Message about video of Rohnert Park Public Safety Officer Posted Date: 8/4/2015 Regarding video of Rohnert Park Public Safety Officer:
We’ve been made aware of this matter and we are taking it seriously. We understand the concerns that have been raised by our community and others and we want the public to know that your trust in law enforcement in our City is a top priority. As a result, we will conduct an internal review to verify that appropriate protocols were followed. We will also review our protocols because we want to make sure we are using the best practices for the highest level of safety for both our officers and the community.
Mayor Amy Ahanotu and City Manager Darrin Jenkins
The department’s Facebook page was evidently deleted sometime yesterday. A cached version shows users began sharing the McComas confrontation on the page accompanied by comments which the department may have feared would tarnish their reputation.
“Thank you,” a message left by the department early Tuesday morning reads. “This has already been brought to our attention and will be responded to in due course. Take care.”
The Free Thought Project’s Matt Agorist highlights that a section of the California penal code regarding drawing a firearm in a “threatening manner” may have been violated by the officer.
“According to CAL. PEN. CODE § 417 : California Code – Section 417:
(2) Every person who, except in self-defense, in the presence of any other person, draws or exhibits any firearm, whether loaded or unloaded, in a rude, angry, or threatening manner, or who in any manner, unlawfully uses a firearm in any fight or quarrel is punishable as follows: (A) If the violation occurs in a public place and the firearm is a pistol, revolver, or other firearm capable of being concealed upon the person, by imprisonment in a county jail for not less than three months and not more than one year, by a fine not to exceed one thousand dollars ($1,000), or by both that fine and imprisonment. (B) In all cases other than that set forth in subparagraph (A), a misdemeanor, punishable by imprisonment in a county jail for not less than three months.

California Cop Draws Gun On Lawbiding 
American; Mayor Does Nothing
Published on Aug 8, 2015
The Northern California Police officer, now identified as Dave Rodriguez by a city source, caught on video brandishing his weapon to a man who filmed the entire incident has been awarded temporary paid administrative leave. Assistant City Manager Don Schwartz said in a statement. "The city truly believes in community-oriented policing and deeply values the relationship between law enforcement and our community. The incident portrayed on the video is not a typical interaction between our public safety officers and the public,"

The incident takes a serious turn when the officer removes his sidearm from his holster and begins approaching McComas menacingly. 
“As minor as some would say it was, when I saw his gun gripped in his hand I really thought he was going to shoot me and claim my hand was in my pocket,” McComas says in the Youtube video description. 
The officer then argues he has the right to be on the sidewalk outside of the man’s house, as McComas expresses his family has been persistently harassed by police. 
“What’s wrong with you, man?” the officer asks. 
“Your station is corrupt,” McComas answers. 
“Oh ok,” the officer says, before asking, “Are you some kind of a constitutionalist? Crazy guy or something like that?” 
And what if he was a Constitutionalist? Someone that believes in the founding principals that the officer should have swore an oath on? Isn’t every oath abiding police officer a Constitutionalist?
