Will Grigg?s Liberty Minute

June 6, 2011

Police were sent to the Bowling Green, Ohio apartment of Attorney Robert B. Blackwell on April 27 after a family member requested that they perform a ?welfare check.? Police opened the locked door and forced aside a sofa that had been used as a barricade. Blackwell was shotbecause he allegedly pointed a gun at the armed strangers who had entered his home without invitation.

Stacey Burns of Fort Worth suffered from several health problems, including diabetes and clinical depression. On three occasions, her family called the police to assist in committing her to a hospital. The fourth incident of this kind occurred on May 23, when two officers entered her home and found her with a pair of scissors.

The official story is that she charged at one of the officers, who ? according to the police union attorney ? had ?no choice? but to shoot her several times.

Now that ?close and kill? has effectively replaced ?protect and serve? as the police credo, the last thing people should do in dealing with an emotionally troubled relative is to invite police intervention.

Let us take back the liberty wherewith Christ has made us free.
