"New Professionalism" Once Again on Display in Georgia

Having already asserted their authority to beat the handicapped and murder (then frame) the elderly, police officers right here in the USofA have now decided it’s time to start killing the clergy.

On September 1, Jonathan Ayers, a Georgia minister, had just withdrawn money from a convenience-store ATM and started his own car when an unmarked black SUV pulled in behind him. Plainclothes officers (which is exactly the same as saying “some guys”) jumped out of the SUV and pointed guns at him.

We cannot know if Ayers thought he was being attacked or robbed. We do know that Ayers was not the intended target of the stop. What we see in the surveillance video is that Ayers tried to drive away, and in doing so backed into one of the officers. At least one officer then shot into Ayers’s vehicle, fatally wounding him.

Ayers left behind a wife who was four months pregnant with the couple’s first child. He was pastor of Shoal Creek Baptist Church in Lavonia, and he recently blogged: "I have three loves in my life: Jesus Christ, my wife Abby, and the Church."

For those questioning my growing animosity toward the police, please at least desist with the argument that this was just another isolated incident, etc., etc., etc.

  1. Good to see that the police are cleaning up our streets. Removing all those lowlifes that would give you their last dollar to help you out.

  2. And remember that the person the police were tailing was a never-before-convicted drug user who sold $50 worth of cocaine to an undercover cop.

    Cost-Benefit Analysis is evidently an elective at Cop College.

  3. Remember the next time armed assailant comes at you just lay there, they may be the police.
