Wrong? Hardly. If a police officer assaults you with a deadly weapon for asking questions, you'd feel pretty ornary, too.
Although I wouldn't be interfering and asking questions when it is not my business...This pastor did, and got 'carnal' and ended up in the hospital because of his own actions.
All he had to do was wait, allow the officer to do his job, then, when finished, be the pastor for his congregant.
What sort of role-model is this guy for the other families and their kids..?

So you assume that the policeman is not a born again Christian? You do have a low view of those who maintain your safety.
No, I simply trust the morals that conservative evangelicalism imbues in the populace. It teaches leaders to avoid immorality and to respect authority. I trust God a lot more than I trust the police; you seem to have a dim view of Christian conservativism.

Had they watched and not interfered they wouldn't have been tased/sprayed.
So you trust the police over 30 born-again conservative evangelical Christians? Hmmm... trust the crowd of bystanders or one police officer who has more motive to lie than they do... And what happened to the dash cam?
Actually yes i would be more inclined to support a policeman who has as of yet not been proven of doing anything wrong over some people who have not had to undergo any sort of evaluation to be considered born again, whereas the policeman has been vetted to be stable enough to be in a position of power. I like how you assume that since these folks were in a pentecostal church for services that they are born again Christians. I am sure that quite a few of them were born again and also that many weren't.

They hardly bum rushed in. They didn't even leave church property, and heck, they were pentecostal worshippers who have been trained to respect the authorities that be.
Doubtful they have been trained to respect authority...

Way wrong answer. King was a peaceful questioner and demonstrator. Not a rabble rouser who put his congregants in potential harms way to justify his own grandstanding.

They are members of the AG. You'd think that with all the influence the AG wields over its churches, some sort of rogue church that advocated resisting authority would have been weeded out.
Me? I trust the pentecostals. Christianity extends very well into politics and the evil liberal authorities that be should not be allowed to lie about what really happened. Release the dash cam or drop the charges.

If the leaders are taught to respect authority under conservative evangelicanism then you have to assume that this "pastor" was not in line with conservative Christians and therefore you would have to assume that his congregation may have been being fed a false doctrine. See you make assumptions about a policeman that very well could be a born again Christian, could very well be serving in many different kind of ministries because of your bias against authority, I choose not to act like i can judge the heart of the man.

How did he know there was 'injustice' going on..? Why was the congregant pulled over to begin with ~ perhaps a simple moving violation..? He was certainly not 'doing God's work,'
he was interfering in a police officers job. He then proceeds to stir up the congregation by getting them involved. He should be arrested for attempting to incite a riot.

First, all the facts are not known. Supposing everyone is a Christian is amazing to me when we know that everyone that attends church is not necessarily a Christian. Supposing conservatism is another humorous bias. Which churches allow liberalism? At any rate, I do not see any proof presented to make either side the definite truth as yet. Did I miss something? Until that proof is provided, all this speculation is pointless and counterintuitive.

Respecting authority doesn't mean not questioning it. I simply can't believe that religious and moral conservativism is churning out authority-defying people like you allege this pastor is when it regularly produces great leaders like Mark Sanford, Larry Craig, Pat Robertson, Jimmy Swaggert, and Ted Haggard.

The only reason he is in trouble is that the left-wing religion haters in the police force picked a fight with the church. Next time, he should learn better than to look outside to see what is going on and let the police activities happen in secret.

Had this pastor witnessed a policeman beating a man merciliessly and went to shield the man with his own body then i would be singing his praises. Instead what he did was to interfere in the by all accounts legal traffic stop of a person.

The fact that if he used a taser on someone, he'd better have had a very good reason for doing it if he wants to keep his job. Again, where is the dash cam when you need it?

The title of this thread is misleading. It sounded like the police officer went into a church and attacked a pastor. In truth the exact opposite happened. A police officer was conducting police business and a pastor interfered. He is lucky he and other's didn't get shot dead. If 30 people approached me and I were the officer I think there would have been a different outcome.
They should have stayed where they belonged.

The pastor had no right to interfere in a lawful traffic stop. PERIOD

What police ativity was happening in secret? It was in an open parking lot and being conducted LEGALLY and without harm to the person being stopped. Watching the stop would have been a perfectly respectable thing to do, interferring with a lawful stop is not.

That's an amusing statement. Benny Hinn 'cleaned' up his act so he could become AG, then eventually went back to his old tricks, then left the AG.
The AG isn't 'all-knowing, all powerful.' They can, and do, have churches that don't adhere to all their rules & regs.

Good thing you're not a police officer in Texas; if I were on the jury after your rampage, I'd try to stop the DP, but you know it would still happen; it's Texas.

He had 30-40 good reasons.... Not to mention he was in the act of doing his job...

Yeah, but what are the odds of that in a small town in Texas? Maybe 1 in 100.

Not exactly a small town in Texas, Webster is divide from Houston in name only, there is but a single pipeline right of way that is not fully developed between webster and downtown Houston.
