Ordained minister, Dennis Hall and his guest Pastor George Whirley, New Creation Restoration Church and Prison Ministry, Indianapolis, Indiana, discuss the recent beating of an Afro-American man in Memphis by a group of Afro-American police officers who have now been charged with murder. They recount some of the murderers mentioned in Scripture and how these murders seem to be motivated by greed, power, sex, revenge, and hate reasons. In Mathew 5 Jesus warns against murder and even says those who are filled with anger will be judged. Examples of indiscriminate killing of civilians in war zones were reviewed with the suggestion that society has placed our contemporary police offices in a war zone atmosphere. If society wants to prevent future incidents of police brutality, an investment in an adequate number of chaplains on police forces must be made. The dignity of our neighbors will only be recognized when God is in the life of a community and police force.
