“I am free, no matter what rules surround me. If I find them tolerable, I tolerate them; if I find them too obnoxious, I break them. I am free because I know that I alone am morally responsible for everything I do.”
― Robert A. Heinlein

Can a Christian Be a Cop?

1. The drug war. This is the most obvious and most important reason to not be involved with law enforcement in any way. You will have to help fight the drug war that unnecessarily makes criminals out of otherwise law-abiding Americans, clogs the judicial system with noncrimes, and expands the prison population with nonviolent offenders. A cop cannot ask to be excused from fighting the drug war because he feels it is an attack on individual liberty and private property. But don’t blame cops, people say, they are just following the law. Yea, like they will just be following the law when they arrest your pastor for preaching against homosexuality because it is “hate speech.” Until the drug laws are changed, I don’t see how any libertarian can be a cop unless he is in a small town and is able to simply not enforce drug laws. The drug war should prohibit Christians from being cops as well. If you don’t think so, then please read my article “Should Christians Support the ‘War on Drugs?’” What it all comes down to is this: To be a cop you have to be willing to lock people in cages for possessing a plant or some substance the government doesn’t approve of.

“Power should be confined to those who are not in love with it.”
– Plato
“Career dependents receive what’s called assistance, perhaps the most egregious weasel word to be found outside the real estate industry. It means free medical, dental, eyeglasses, tuition, rent subsidy, WIC, food stamp debit cards—EBT, daycare, Earned Income Credit and more. In zip codes where hearts bleed freest, cell phones and vehicles are also provided in service to illusions of future employability and imminent dispersal into a grateful wider population. Improbable. Not with reading skills limited to major brand names and a handful of four-letter words. Not with conversation consisting of indecipherable phrases grunted in a stylized cadence as if the sole purpose of speaking were to entertain.”
