Former Minneapolis Mayor Discusses Police Reform Problems

R.T. Rybak, former Mayor of Minneapolis (2002-2013) believes that police unions and their leaders are major reasons why past efforts at reforming policing in Minneapolis and elsewhere in this country have had problems and why current reform efforts are facing difficulties.[1]

RISE: The Story of Augustines

OFFICIAL WORLD PREMIERE AT RAINDANCE! After four years in the making, we are so pleased to announce that our wonderful film RISE: The Story

This awesome huge tiny independent film premieres in London tomorrow. I was honoured to be shown a rough cut a couple of years ago and am awed to see this crowd funded project finally make it to the big screen. Some good people have put their hearts and souls and hard earned cash into this project. I recommend you check it out if it comes your way.

I knew nothing about this band - other than the fact that two of my best friends would travel great distances to see them live - before I saw the film - but the story of pain and passion and music and endurance, brotherhood and love is something that anyone can relate to

"2 officers injured, 3 men jailed in fight"

“2 officers injured, 3 men jailed in fight”

I had to stifle a laugh when I read that two cops got beat up Saturday night by three drunk illegals. If area law enforcement did their job, and shipped out illegals, their cops wouldn’t have been beat up.

Both the Polk County Sherriff Bill McCarthy and Des Moines Police Chief Judy Bradshaw have turned Des Moines into a sanctuary city for illegals. They are aided and abetted in this by the Des…

Fr Bill McCarthy, MSA on Love's Depth God's love has a depth that is beyond human nature. Love loves, period. Love loves everyone always, PERIOD.  Love loves the unlovable,   touches the untouchable,    teaches the unreachable,     forgives the unforgivable.  Love loves the outcast, the foreigner, the sinner, the prostitute, the murderer, the prisoner, the unfaithful spouse, the prodigal son, the alien, the abortionist.  God gives us the grace to love with depth so that we remain committed even when we no longer feel like it. He gives us the grace to forgive when we feel we can't. He gives us the grace to love when we no longer feel like it. The heart of love consists in its depth: to love when to love seems no longer possible, to love when to love seems out of reach, undeserved and unjust.  This is Christian love. "While we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." To treat a person like a thing is violence. To treat a thing like a person is idolatry. To treat a person like a person is simply justice. To treat a person like Christ is AGAPE love. This means that we are able to love a person who has offended us; or that we are willing, at least in some way, to die for our enemies. This is Christianity.
