Complaint filed against officer for proselytizing on duty

[brooklynite]

SPARTANBURG, S.C. - A Greenville County minister has filed a complaint against a Greer reserve police officer claiming he tried to convert her to his faith during a traffic stop.

Debra Gainey, a minister at the Emerald Sanctuary Druidic Church, filed her complaint Monday with Greer Police Chief Dan Reynolds. Gainey claims reserve officer Tony Stewart discussed his religion with her during a June 10 traffic stop and sent a letter to her home inviting her "to listen to the words from the Baptists."

Gainey said her rights were violated by Stewart's attempt at conversion and because he also used his job to get her home address. She also wants a public apology from the police department and Stewart.

1. Excellent

Having evangelists jumping at you when you are shopping or walking around downtown is bad enough--but at least you can escape. When you are trapped with them at work it can be unbearable. Stewart really crossed the line when he used his job priveleges to get Gainey's address for proselytizing purposes. He deserves to have action taken against him.
