Will Grigg?s Liberty Minute

July 1, 2009

Cedric Glover is Mayor of Shreveport, Louisiana, a city afflicted ? as are so many these days ? with a hideously corrupt municipal police force.

Mr. Glover also belongs to a group called Mayors Against Illegal Guns. Glover and his comrades believe that in an ideal society, only police and military personnel would have firearms.

A Shreveport resident named Robert Baillio was stopped by a police officer. No traffic citation was issued, but the officer did temporary confiscate Baillio?s firearm.

WhenBaillio called Glover to ask about this incident Baillio called Glover to ask about this incident, the Mayor unbosomed himself of a remarkable perspective on police powers: An individual police officer, according to Glover, is invested with "a power that the President of the United States does not have ... and that is the ability to be able to suspend your rights? ? at any time, for any reason.

Under Glover?s reign, Shreveport may have to change its name to ?Cuba of the North.?

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