OftenWrong Posted September 24, 2023 Report Posted September 24, 2023 It was already hard enough to get young people to want to join the RMCP and other police forces because of messaging from our politicians when they voiced support for BLM and their radical anti-police message. City councils even went so far as to voice support and talk about defund the police movements. Leading to a serious shortage of officers. Insufficient resources, poor planning, loss of experienced veteran officers to train the new ones. Now things like this happen. How can it not be inevitable. We have turned our backs on them, and on our own civility. ==== "Then shall come a great undoing of man and beast." 1 Quote

blackbird Posted September 24, 2023 Report Posted September 24, 2023 The best thing Canadians can do for them to show that they are really sorry for what happened to murdered police and their families is to support capital punishment being brought back for murderers of police officers and prison guards. Expressing sorrow and condolences is a nice gesture, but it still doing nothing about the existing failed justice system. All the memorials, condolences, and commemorations is fine but it does nothing to protect other officers in their line of work. We need less talk and more action by our leaders. "6 Whoso sheddeth man’s blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man." Genesis 9:6 KJV "1 Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God. 2 Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation. 3 For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same: 4 For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil. 5 Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake. 6 For for this cause pay ye tribute also: for they are God’s ministers, attending continually upon this very thing. " Romans 13:1-6 KJV Quote

The problem is there are too many bleeding heart liberals who oppose capital punishment. So it must start somewhere and at least protect the police and prison guards.

Not very christian of you LOL What would your solution be? Since there is no way the government will bring it back for all murderers at this time, what would be better than at least doing something to protect the police officers? Maybe one step at a time. Not sure how advocating for that is not very Christian. I don't see anyone else advocating for it on here. You missed the point I guess. Quote

Nope, just pointing out you anti christian behaviour demanding death. Now you clarified your stance. You believe murderers should not be punished with capital punishment. No surprise since you don't accept the Bible teaching on it. How is it anti-Christian since the Bible says it clearly in Genesis 9:6 "6 Whoso sheddeth man’s blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man." Seems pretty clear. God ordained it for murderers at that time. Where in the Bible does it say it no longer applies? Even in the New Testament in Romans ch13 it says "3 For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same: 4 For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain:" Romans 13:3, 4 KJV Obviously if Genesis states capital punishment for murder and the New Testament says "rulers beareth not the sword in vain", it is pretty clear that God authorizes it. The sword could obviously mean capital punishment. So your argument is with what the Bible says, which men were inspired by God to write. Since what the Bible teaches is the basis or foundation of Christianity, your claim that it is anti-Christian to advocate capital punishment for murder has no credibility. In fact, the opposite is true. It is standing up for justice. Your idea is just the common liberal or NDP babble against God's revelation and justice. That's just the same old soft-on-crime attitude that gave us a failed justice system in Canada. That is why we have so many police officers being murdered and the courts constantly releasing dangerous offenders on bail within hours after they are arrested and the parole board releasing dangerous offenders as well. Good example is the guy who murdered twelve people in the Cree nation last year. He was released by the parole board. Edited September 24, 2023 by blackbird Quote
blackbird Posted September 25, 2023 Report Posted September 25, 2023 Another person in Richmond shot today. Witnesses heard awful moaning from a man lying in the street and saw someone running away. The RCMP arrived but it was too late. The man died. This is daily in some greater Vancouver municipality. The government is doing nothing significant to put a stop to this endless shootings and murder. Murderers know they may not be caught and even if they are caught, they will just get a sentence of a limited number of years and will be released. Quote
