Syphilitic French Riot Cops Threaten Strike Over Alcohol Ban

No, if they were trying to turn you into priests, I'm sure there'd be altar boys involved.
The Bible's stance on drunkenness is very clear:
I am curious, though, to know what our Landover pastors might say about the ESV interpretation of the above verse. Obviously the ESV is not the KJV 1611, but its phrasing does, perhaps provide some justification for continued wine-swilling by the frog cops:
The article says those riot cops made a name for themselves by cracking the heads of filthy hippie protesters in the late 1960s. That surely pleased the Lord, and who knows, maybe a little vino might be appropriate if it gets those boys in the mood to properly brawl with the illegitimate, red-diaper, doper babies of those hippies?
Just a thought.
The CRS (Republican Security Companies), which made its name quelling student demonstrators during nationwide disturbances in 1968, has always enjoyed a glass of beer or wine with its meals.
However, following photos of riot police drinking bottles of beer during Paris street protest, police chiefs have decided to put an end to the tradition.
They were wearing body armour and carrying weapons as they sipped from beer and wine bottles. Some were also smoking.
Didier Mangione, national secretary of the police union, said bosses were "trying to turn us into priests, but without the altar wine".
"Nobody should object to a small drink on jobs," he said. "CRS officers do not have any more or less alcohol problems than anybody else in society. They should be allowed to drink in moderation."
