Hello Everybody,

Talk about insulting.
Really insulting.

Franklin Graham

Listen up--Blacks, Whites, Latinos, and everybody else. Most
police shootings can be avoided. It comes down to respect for
authority and obedience. If a police officer tells you to stop,
you stop. If a police officer tells you to put your hands in
the air, you put your hands in the air. If a police officer
tells you to lay down face first with your hands behind your
back, you lay down face first with your hands behind your back.
It’s as simple as that. Even if you think the police officer
is wrong—YOU OBEY. Parents, teach your children to respect and
obey those in authority. Mr. President, this is a message our
nation needs to hear, and they need to hear it from you. Some
of the unnecessary shootings we have seen recently might have
been avoided. The Bible says to submit to your leaders and
those in authority “because they keep watch over you as those
who must give an account.”

Who the hell does Franklin Graham think he is? Just because
he is the son of Billy Graham does not give him the right to say
or write such filth. I wonder what the Good Lord would say to
those who treated others in the way Franklin Graham suggests?

Black lives matter, Mr. Graham. Black lives really matter.
Anybody who told you, or tells you otherwise, is trying to deceive
you. Assuming he/she has not already done so.

Who the hell does Franklin Graham think he is?

He seems to smarter than you give him credit for.

And he's right! The place to argue the right or wrong of an encounter with
a cop is not on the street trying to wrestle the cop's gun away from them,
but in a court of law.

Just because
he is the son of Billy Graham does not give him the right to say
or write such filth. I wonder what the Good Lord would say to
those who treated others in the way Franklin Graham suggests?

He'd probably give them a pat on the back for not resisting dully sworn authority, and simply obeying lawful commands from a police officer.

Black lives matter, Mr. Graham. Black lives really matter.

As do all lives matter. Injecting racism into the nation at the rate Al Sharpton and Louis Farakhan do is in no way helping the situation. Race
baiters are a dime a dozen. If many blacks' simply obeyed the law and
respected authority, much of such encounters would never happen.

Anybody who told you, or tells you otherwise, is trying to deceive
you. Assuming he/she has not already done so.

That's absolute nonsense!
