They're called COPS, and they're even paid by the State and Local Governments, but as a bonus they don't just get to defend churchgoers, but EVERYONE...I know right GREAT IDEA!!!
and for what it's worth, they seem to actually kill more people than they need to, so APPARENTLY they're doing a good enough job that PRIVATE CHURCHES probably don't need to offer their 'assistance' in this rather PUBLIC MATTER.

what a bunch of backwards-ass redneck fucksticks these people are. My heart goes out to all the Honest and Unashamed Liberals in the south. I'm very sorry.
