Private security for individuals is okay, but this crosses the line?

Do you think that person driving a golf cart around the mall parking lot is a real police person?

Easy brah. I think it’s just a protection of THEIR property thing. Didn’t even make the local news. Plus I don’t see the PCA blowing up Jewish Temples.

The founding fathers wanted to prevent a government sponsored religion. They never intended to keep religion out of government..... that is what you got with Nazi Germany, Communist Russia and China.

This bill would authorize the president or a chief executive officer of Madison Academy and Briarwood Presbyterian Church and its integrated auxiliary Briarwood Christian School to appoint and employ one or more suitable persons to act as police officers to keep off intruders and prevent trespass upon, and damage to, the property of the school or academy

Relating to law enforcement; to amend Section 16-22-1, Code of Alabama 1975, to authorize the president or chief executive officer of Madison Academy and Briarwood Presbyterian Church and its integrated auxiliary Briarwood Christian School to appoint and employ one or more suitable persons to act as police officers to protect the property of the school or academy.

So basically it's just the state of Alabama saying it's OK for the church to hire people to make arrests for trespassing and damaging property using non-lethal force.
