If you are having trouble with the word “recruiting “you can ignore that and just assume Renée volunteered for a volunteer organization that took in volunteers for volunteer activities to impede ICE.

Substitue “ Volunteer” for “Recruit” and you Ok?

I do know what I’m talking about since I live in the St. Louis region, ground zero for modern day cop protests.

My neighborhood’s Methodist Church created a bit of a stink with a few neighbors (well, me for sure!) when they sponsored training sessions on how to protest and engage with police officers. Our friends on the board of the church claimed the right hand didnt know know what the left hand was doing, and they didn’t understand what they were sponsoring but I’m pretty sure the woke head pastor knew what she gave her church building over to.

All I know is when I drove by I saw people lying down in the street and shouting at each other as they conducted their “drills.”

I’ve got nothing against peaceful protests that do not impede citizen activity. It’s the American way, go for it!mBut lying down in the street, engaging with police officers, interfering with activities of citizens —I am not cool with.

So we boycotted the Methodist Church for a year in their holiday fundraisers, and I told board members why. Not that we made much if a difference but you gotta get in your protesting licks when you can.
