I've preached with many of these guys before, but never have I seen an altercation with the police quite like this one. Following are a few quotes from a report concerning the arrest of five street preachers. May 24th, 2003:
"No sooner had they began preaching, than the police surrounded them, and demanded that they immediately cease preaching Jesus Christ and leave the city. With videos running, said Officer Mark Rand to Director McRae, 'If you say the name of Jesus Christ again on this sidewalk, I am going to arrest you and put in jail.'" "... And as if there was no God watching, no ears listening, and no videos recording, Officer Mark Rand, in the uniform of Indianapolis Police Department declared aloud, 'Jesus Christ is a false prophet.and the Old Testament is a book of lies.based upon the Jewish religion.'" "... he held the Bible above the crowd, and immediately Officer Rand ordered him to put it down, saying, "You cannot hold that Bible up on the sidewalk." An as if by cue, all the street preachers' Bibles went up in the air, and stayed up until their arms were handcuffed behind their backs."
