Dunno if it's real, but if it is, it's damn hilarious.
Quote:
GLEN VIEW, ARKANSAS — A state trooper in a small Arkansas town is making local headlines and generating quite a buzz within his town after he witnessed a group of teenagers breaking into and spray painting cars in a church parking lot while its parishioners were attending a weekend barbecue picnic, and he decided not to engage the young suspects.
Ordinarily a story of a police officer choosing not to stop a crime in progress would be news enough, but the reasoning that Trooper Michael Coharski gave the media is also causing a stir. According to Coharski he decided to let the vandalism play out because the pastor at First Glen View Baptist church had recently written an op-ed for The Glen View Gazette in support of Kim Davis, the Rowan County, Kentucky clerk who gained national notoriety by refusing to issue same-sex marriage licenses, despite the Supreme Court ruling this past summer that states could no longer discriminate against homosexual couples seeking marriage licenses. Citing the authority of God, Davis refused to issue the licenses, and after a federal circuit judge ordered her to issue them and she didn’t, Davis was put in jail for contempt of court.
Coharski, gay himself and also an atheist, was incensed that Pastor William J. Riccardellia would support an elected official deciding not to do her job, that when “karma handed [him] the gift of seeing some kids breaking into cars outside Pastor Riccardellia’s church” he decided to exercise discretion in how he “approached the suspects.” According to Coharski, he simply watched and made sure the teenagers weren’t planning a terrorist attack, that they weren’t “planting bombs or something” and he radioed ahead to the station, asking the dispatcher to have three cars sent to the three intersections nearest the church, where they could wait for the suspects and make any arrests necessary at the time.
“Look, I’m still sworn to uphold the law, so I wasn’t going to just let the kids go. They needed to be taught not to break into cars,” Coharski told The Political Garbage Chute, “but I asked myself why I have to be the one interceding. Why can’t their God — the same all-powerful God they claim is so powerful we shouldn’t anger him by letting us uppity gays marry other adults — save their blessed Toyota Camry from little Bobby Sherman or little Johnny Redmond,” Coharski asked rhetorically.
Officer Coharski, a veteran of 12 years on the force, said that “If that clerk up in Kentucky can just flat-out refuse to her job, so I can I.” Coharski said that prior to Davis’ escapades in Kentucky he “was obviously in favor of marriage equality” and was “quite happy about the Supreme Court decision” but that he wasn’t planning on changing how he did his job in the relatively conservative town he lived in because “it’s not up to [him] to tell others how to believe” and “everyone’s got a right to live their lives how they want to” but that after seeing Davis shirk her responsibilities and reading Pastor Riccardellia’s op-ed in which he compared Davis to Rosa Parks, that was “the straw that broke this gay camel’s back.”

And he makes a good point. I like this cop.

That cop should be fired immediatly. Charged with the vandalism as he became an accompolice to it. He should then be thrown in prison for as long as the law allows and forced to make restitution for the damaged vehicles upon his release.

That news title dings almost every bell as far as inflammatory or attention-catching words goes...
So, needless to say, I skipped over the entire article and am only posting to call this entire charade gay.

Well it's not like church pays taxes. If you ask me the cop had every right to deny his service to a business that doesn't fund law enforcement, or any public service for that matter.

Yep and I find it hilarious. Though there is an issue, she went to jail over refusing to do her job because of her beliefs, he hasn't (to my knowledge).

No ones asking you.
The cop was sworn to uphold the law. He broke his oath and obligation to the community he was sworn to serve. He deserves to be deemed the guilty culprit and suffer according to the implications of the crime he became a party to.

I hope police are becoming disenfranchised with the system of which they represent the authority and power.

So you place a complaint to the police station about the crooked officer and hopefully they take disciplinary action against him 
If they don't, big deal. Life goes on, its no different than the other pigs that are crooked. (not calling all cops pigs just the crooked ones, like the PIGS who plant drugs on people).

No one is asking you, either.
The cop upheld the law - he witnessed a crime, called for backup, and waited in a secure location, observing the subjects, and then captured them.
What do you think he should've done? Pray? I think god was too busy listening to all the confessions going on in the church.

It's a sad testament to humans that any of you believed this for even a second.

Not real quick to recognize satire, are you Sparky?
-------------------- You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity. What one person receives without working for another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for that my dear friend is the beginning of the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it. ~ Adrian Rogers

That's too bad 
But I covered my bases in the beginning, I really didn't know if it was real or not. Granted I only did a quick search, didn't turn up anything that said it was fake. Didn't think to check the site itself.
