Church Security Team Member Sentenced for Fatal Church Parking Lot Shooting George Ryan Walters, a former reserve deputy with the Jones County Sheriff's Department, was sentenced to 20 years in prison for the second-degree murder of James Corey Donald in April 2023. Walters, 44, of Laurel, Mississippi, will serve 10 years in prison followed by 10 years on probation. The incident occurred during an altercation at The Rock Pentecostal Church in Laurel, where Walters was working as a security team member. The sentencing follows Walters' plea deal to a lesser charge after initially being charged with first-degree murder and aggravated assault. I’m looking for more information on this case. I understand there is surveillance video of the incident. If you have more information (like how the argument started, what it was over, if the other man attended the church, etc) I’d love to hear about it. I think this would be a good case study for other safety ministry members. With that said, MS does have a law that allows for immunity for church safety team members working for the church. However, no law will protect you if you act with gross negligence. People have a poor understanding of qualified immunity. It doesn’t protect you if you are willfully negligent. It protects you when you are performing an act within the accordance of law. In most churches, it is easier to get on the safety team where people carry guns then it is on the worship team. If you can't sing and can't play an instrument, you won't get on the worship team. However, many churches will let somebody come on the safety team simply because they were prior military, prior law-enforcement, or have a CCW. You must be pickier in personnel selection than the worship team.

Obviously as is absolutely the case with regards to every discipline and profession, there are, of course "bad/ corrupted criminals-in-disguise", effectively. That must be rooted out. However, if you are going to let an exceptionally tiny minority of such sorry excuses-for people justify your not actively supporting the #thinblueline, then you are absolutely one of the also exceptionally tiny but - generally - obnoxiously-loud minority, who are a giant part of the problem. That is, the problem of the very deliberate dividing of this nation, the epidemic of crime in far too many formerly safe cities and towns and generally, the continuing breakdown of law and order, the Rule of Law and the emerging reign of an increasingly-obvious also very deliberate, Two-Tiered so-called "Justice" system. +++ But that's just what I think might be happening and might be some of the causes. What do you all think? #surveysays
