Unfortunately, the video’s not on our post anymore — the poster has been suspended — but back in April, a Christian pastor in Calgary, Alberta was shown driving the COVID-19 police out of his church. It seems the police have gotten their revenge, though, as Pastor Artur Pawlowski and his brother, David, were arrested for “inciting or inviting others to attend an illegal public gathering,” also known as a church service.
Earlier today, police arrested two organizers of a church service who were in violation of a new court order obtained by Alberta Health Services in relation to mandatory compliance of public health orders for gatherings. https://t.co/0JoiEoh7Tv

Here’s video of the illegal gathering, courtesy of Rebel News’s Ezra Levant. (Jason Kenney is the premier of Alberta.)
Jason Kenney raged at Christian churches that, like Muslim mosques, Sikh temples, Costcos & Walmarts and NHL teams, remain open. He said he’d crush them. Could be. But so far, Artur Pawlowski’s church doesn’t look crushed to me. https://t.co/bMwAj1iNfP pic.twitter.com/nAgw0CU5dX

Artur Pawlowski's supporters have ejected Calgary Police from the church. We expect they will return in force. @RebelNewsOnline pic.twitter.com/fz15nDlhit

Three hours after I tweeted this video of Pastor Artur Pawlowski's church service, police swarmed him on his way home, arrested him & now have him in custody.
He's the second Christian pastor jailed in Alberta.
We've hired a lawyer to try to get him out: https://t.co/bMwAj1iNfP https://t.co/ytmgx3fChR

Police are boasting about jailing a Christian pastor for "organizing an illegal in-person gathering, including requesting, inciting or inviting others to attend an illegal public gathering, promoting and attending an illegal public gathering."https://t.co/bMwAj1iNfP https://t.co/ARhrLtfkDq

Boy, it’s no wonder why VICE News called out Fox News’s Tucker Carlson in April for spending 12 whole minutes going off about Canada’s “dangerous authoritarianism,” after Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced that incoming travelers to Canada who tested positive for COVID-19 would need to immediately quarantine in designated government facilities, better known as “COVID hotels.”
Canada is ALL in on fascism. People better realize the US is next. https://t.co/Sz1C2d7Fdf

Making a statement by taking him down publicly, in the wet road like a rabid dog. I imagine getting to play the roll gave CPS a tingle in their nether regions.

Straight up revenge cause he embarrassed them in previous viral vid kicking them out of his church.
Police brutality takes many forms but everytime its rooted in thier ego and power tripping.— IceBeard (@IceBear_ds) May 8, 2021
If masks, social distancing and vaccines work why is the government closing businesses that have all these in place?

This is a disgusting act @jkenney are you also going to go arrest every rabbi and imam? You would rather do this than admit your rules are wrong?

If he was a terrorist, he’d get $10 million from Trudeau. I don’t condone flaunting the law, but what is going on in this country? Drug dealers aren’t treated like this.

Videos of authorities arresting pastors at a church service aren't likely to go in the favor of the hostile government in the medium to long run.

Would calling the service a Black Lives Matter protest have worked up in Canada?
