    An Alabama church wants a police force, and the State Senate is on board. But some say it violates the constitutionhttp://nyti.ms/2p152RY

        If they want "police" for security reasons.. then they can just hire a security company. Problem solved. #YoureWelcome

        If It were a Catholic Church, they could always ship over some of the Swiss Guard. I hear they pop a sassy Cabernet.

        No problem, if the church is going to pay. Trump is going to break us financially. We can't afford to help a non tax paying organization

        OK you want police force? No problem, you start paying taxes on the property, on the land and the donations. Problem solved.

        me, too. I want the city of New York to pay for my security. Every house should have their own police force.

        Bad enough religion has become so politicized...looks now like it will be militarized as well.

        If they're only policing their own property then it's just a private security Force. Why wouldn't that be okay?

        and they obviously don't need to be using that force outside church property for any reason I can fathom...

        Can they accompany the church as security if they were to travel to other areas to preach their gospels?

        very good question. I'd be okay with that, but more so if unarmed to be honest. Lots of fanatics out there.

        I dunno, I support the right to bear arms. As long as they don't enforce unconstitutional laws they should be granted authority.

        Most police are already religious, as long as they only enforce federal and state law it's all good.

        it's got a purpose, and brings comfort to a lot of people. I admire those that compartmentalize it effectively
