Monopoly Justice

The police recently told a dairy owner they did not have the resources to investigate a theft that he had reported. He gave the police a video of the crime and the name of the thief, but they refused to act. In another case, the police refused to investigate a theft from a car yard.

God has given the power of the sword to the state: defence and justice are its only responsibility. The modern state has rebelled against God's will. It has demands a monopoly over justice, but then refuses to provide justice to its citizens. Taxpayer money is spent on a variety of causes to buy popularity, but justice is neglected. We hear of many situations, where the police refuse to investigate a theft, because the amount stolen is too small. Monopoly Justice is not true justice.
