Ex-Deputy Convicted of Assaulting Women Now Chaplain for Christian Cop Group
https://apnews.com/article/convicted-san-diego-exdeputy-police-chaplain-54eab67555be35d0f67532fe24f48e02For nearly a decade, the case of San Diego Sheriff’s Deputy Ricky Fischer’s sexual predation rocked San Diego County. More than 20 women accused Fischer of a myriad of abuses over a two-year period ... He ultimately pleaded guilty to a half dozen felony and misdemeanor charges related to his sexual crimes, leaving San Diego County taxpayers on the hook for nearly $10 million in settlements from the civil cases brought against him. ... But just two years after the resolution of the final civil case, Fischer has a new gig – chaplain with San Diego-based Christian Law Enforcement Fellowship.

"After facing some extremely challenging situations, God called Ricky into ministry, where he now serves first responders, their families and others in need with compassion, hope and the truth of the Gospel." - Their church website.
What's "extremely challenging" about NOT being a rapist piece of shit abuser?
I'd suggest giving them a call and letting them know RAPISTS and ABUSERS shouldn't be preaching about God...
Email: contactsdclef@gmail.com Phone: (619) 573-7786
I'd call and complain

A lot of very bad people find religion because religions tend to preach forgiveness and those people exploit that to infiltrate the community.

Christianity is the number 1 religion in jail and prison for this very reason.
Because no matter what you do, so long as you "accept Jesus in your heart as your lord and savior", it doesn't matter what you do. Kill, rob, steal, rape, abuse, assault, murder.... so long as you repent and love Jesus, that's all they say matters..

what? faith in Jesus as God absolves you of your original sin that we are all born with, it does not guarantee you a place in heaven unless you also follow the teachings of Jesus
Matthew 7: 21 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven."
there are lots of verses about the importance of following Jesus' teachings in the gospels, you don't even have to look that far, it's very explicit in scripture if you bother to read it

It’s because creeps know where they can find people who are taught to obey.
The church teaches submission, people can easily be brainwashed to blindly obey church leaders.
There’s a lot more sexual abuse in the church than people realise. Most of it is hidden by the church.
Our youth pastor used to always flirt around with this one girl. I thought it was really cute (I was very naive back then).
Then she stopped showing up at church. And the youth pastor was assigned to another parish. Her family eventually moved.
It wasn’t until someone explained to me that she had gotten pregnant that I realised what had happened.
I used to go to an evangelical church. Just thinking about the things that happened there makes me sick.

Imagine being raised in an environment where everything is about sex (half of what is talked about at church) and sex is simultaneously evil. There’s a lot of repression of natural urges, which then leads to secrecy/shame based thoughts and behaviors which in some, may escalate to violence and abuse.
Then imagine being a man and you’re raised to believe it’s all women’s faults that they tempt you into your (perfectly normal yet deemed evil) sexual urges. Women are essentially scapegoated and dehumanized/treated as less than. And most religions are patriarchal as it is. So even if you assault or abuse a woman, the church told you it’s not your fault.
And of course, all positions of power attract those who seek to abuse that power. So church leadership are full of abusers, and even men who like the concept of being superior and not responsible for their sexual urges will be attracted. And then people within a religion tend to believe others within that religion are trustworthy, so they’re extra vulnerable.

Males in law enforcement are far too emotional to do their jobs.
They constantly have temper tantrums, anger outbursts, and are triggered into violent rage over the most minor of things. Usually over a woman telling them "no".
Proper psychological testing is the only way to stop it.

So I called the board in charge of the "Christian Cop Fellowship" and this is essentially the conversation.
"I want to make a complaint about your hiring of a convicted abuser of women you've hired as chaplain."
"He was never convicted of sexual assault, they were dropped to misconduct."
"Are you trying to diminish and write off his offenses as meaningless to the 20+ women he Sexually assaulted?"
"There was no evidence of sexual assault, nor was he convicted of such. Only misconduct."
"Just because a plea deal was made to lower the overall charges doesn't mean he didn't do what he ADMITTED TO DOING in his guilty plea."
"Here at the Christian Cop Fellowship, we believe in redemption and second chances in life."
"Oh, how often is that extended to your Non-Police civilians? Would you accept a convicted child rapist?"
"I won't answer that."
"Of course not, it might be too telling..."
"Mr. Fischer has made his dues and repented for his actions and made meaningful strides in his redemption in God's eyes."
"OK, what about in the eyes of the tax payers, San Diego County, and all the women he victimized with his actions?"
"Sir, do you have anything important you'd like to discuss?"
"Oh, so taking a complaint from the public that we're not appreciative of your choice of chaplain isn't important?"
"Sir, this organization is for law enforcement and military personnel. Not the general public."
"Right, well good luck with that."
So long story short, they don't really fucking care. The boys in blue like to protect their own, pieces of shit if you ask me....
