Once again, the Westboro Baptist Church (WBC) “hate group” is praising the shooting of a police officer.  It has repeatedly praised attacks on American police officers as part of the Westboro Baptist Church (WBC) blog “GodSmack.”

In March, the WBC praised the shooting of a police officer in New York City.  On May 3, 2010, the WBC is now praising the shooting of a police officer in Detroit that resulted in the police officer’s death.

The “Westboro Baptist Church” (WBC) is listed as a “hate group” by the Southern Poverty Law Center.

On May 3, 2010, ClickonDetroit reported on the shooting of multiple police officers in Detroit, which resulted in the wounding of four police officers, and the death of Officer Brian Huff.  The report described Officer Huff’s commitment to Detroit law enforcement and the loss to his widow and 10 year old son.  The Detroit news report stated “Huff graduated from the police academy when he was 32. He has worked with in the Public Housing Unit and the Gaming Unit before joining the Eastern District in 2004.”  Officer Huff literally gave his life in his commitment to law and justice in Detroit.

The Westboro Baptist Church “hate group” chose to mock the sacrifice of Officer Huff’s life by praising his shooter, stating “THANK GOD FOR THE DETROIT SHOOTER – 1 OFFICER DEAD; 4 WOUNDED! “God blessed Detroit; they waxed worse in greed, fornication, adultery, and homosexuality…. Monday morning (5/3) on Detroit’s east side a brute raised by doomed american parents opened fire during a breaking-and-entering; one police officer was killed, four were wounded.   It’s the worst news Mayor Bing has had since elected.  GodSmack! Worse/more is coming, because you DON’T obey!… Woe to the inhibiters of the earth! Sing and rejoice!”

==================

Responsible for Equality And Liberty (R.E.A.L.) urges all Christians to reject and condemn this message of hate from the Westboro Baptist Church.  Moreover, we urge all Christians to convey to Christian-named “hate groups” such as the “Westboro Baptist Church” that John 13:34 “A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.”

For all those who hate, whether their rationale is based on racial or religious supremacy, R.E.A.L. urges you to

Choose Love, Not Hate.

Love Wins.
