I thought some of you might be interested in the following links. Following is a quote from one of the articles: Another officer later approached them and threatened to jail the preachers if "he said the name of Jesus Christ again on this sidewalk" and also called the Old Testament "a book of fables," McRae said. The four were later arrested after they blocked a sidewalk, blocking the path of parade-goers, and continued to preach loudly, a police report said. McRae said he did not believe the actions and comments by the officers were justified. "I used to be a police officer," McRae said. "You leave your personal opinions at home." Peace be with you.
