Richmond Police Department Still Harassing Christians - Calls for Intervention Repeatedly Ignored

Once again, a pro-life Christian has had to appear in Richmond General District Court to answer bogus charges brought against him. As was expected, once again the charges were dropped.Those who minister outside Richmond abortion clinics have become used to this harassing cycle in recent years. Richmond City Police Officer Howard Noyse has made it his mission to threaten and/or arrest those who offer help to women who are contemplating abortion at Richmond Medical Center for Women (abortion clinic) where he moonlights several days each week.Although repeated pleas have been made to the Mayor, Chief of Police and Police Department supervisors, nothing has been done to stop the repeated abuse.The latest incident in a long history of abuses by several Richmond Police Officers culminated today with the dismissal of charges against Charles Frederick Neal, a Christian sidewalk counselor. This follows on the heels of two other bogus charges being dropped after the City refused to prosecute the cases.Life and Liberty Ministries calls upon the new Chief of Police and Mayor to stop these abuses and rein in this out of control Officer. "It is very disconcerting that City Officials have thus far turned a blind eye and a deaf ear to the many calls for help. For years we have sought relief from this abuse. When will the Richmond City Police Department cease from harassing law abiding citizens? How long must we endure this mistreatment?"Dennis Green, Director of Life and Liberty MinistriesLife and Liberty MinistriesCALL TO ACTIONContact the following Officials to voice your concern over the policy of allowing officers to moonlight at Richmond abortion clinics.Office of Chief Monroe200 W.

I don't follow your logic. In what way is being unjustly arrested being unbiblical?Paul appealed to Caesar for justise. Seeking to have the police depatment rein in a police officer who abuses his authority is just, proper and biblical.

You asked:"I see that they were ministering outside of the clinic, is that proper?"My response:Absolutely and without question. Messiah went to where the lost were. We go to where they are also. We are to follow his example.Brother, you pray at home, I will pray in the battle.
