TPD Investigation over Community Event

[JB Books]

Would you really feel the same way if it were GUTS, Grace or Victory Christian?

I think that if the invitation was to a place other than their place of worship, you'd be correct. Meet the people, not their religious beliefs.
A couple of years ago a friend's dad died. I went to the service even though it was not of my religion, but couldn't help noticing that the friend's wife was outside the church, waiting in the limo. Her religious beliefs would not allow her to enter, even though she loved and respected the deceased.
After the funeral we had lunch together and both I and the friend's wife had a good time talking to the priest.
I didn't agree with her behavior, I understood it.

So, if you can simply answer a question, without walking all the way around it, does he have a case?

I don't walk around questions, I dance around them.

The answer is I don't have enough info, but my instinct tells me, at this point, probably not.

I thought I saw you on TV dancing.


Turns out it was Marty McFly.

If they will be serving pork. I'll be there.

So Is this what Tulsa PD has been reduced to. Can't respond to nonpriority calls but sure as hell better attend an event at a Religious establishment.

THIS !!!

It's a terrorist plot!! Invite all the officers to a party, then poison them with free food!!

I read the memos. This is my unqualified opinion. I think Fields' case would be weak because he was NOT required to attend any kinds of religious services. I think that's the heart of the matter. But what do I know? I just do wrecks and disabilty law. The only other area I know well is lawyer ethics (I know that surprises some of you ha ha).


You guys should read the memos. THere on the KOTV website.

I personally don't give a hoot, I'd go to your church, mosque or whatever, eat your food and drink your wine.
Unfortunately, I understand that others don't see it that way; to them, to have to go to somebody else's place of worship and have to listen to them and not be able to tell them how they are full of it, is unbearable. We are talking about religion. If my religion tells me that it is a sin to be around nonbelievers or sinners or whatever and I am really serious about my religion, there is no choice.
Surely, a fine lawyer like yourself can see the other persons point of view regardless of whether you agree with that person or not.

Depends on who is paying the bill. Cause I'm just an old whore.

I don't think that anything changes. It was a place of worship where the person of the other side can say what they believe and the officer has to obediently listen and say nothing. What do you think would happen if TPD send an officer to any, not just this event and while the officer listen decided to tell him that he disagreed and that according to his religion......
You know that the officer would be in trouble. The officer should not be put in to the position where he has to listen to somebody else's dogma and just eat it.
If TPD wanted to do that, I don't have any problem with that, it should be volunteers only.

here ya go.... for you lazy butts

personal opinion only... but attendance should have been entirely voluntary.
and if attendance was headed for a no show ... department heads like the chief should have stepped up and attended themselves.
