  • New 4K remaster of my 2000 video. At this time, the Clearwater Police were allowed to work off-duty for Scientology to "protect" Scientology from members of The Lisa McPherson Trust, a watchdog group helping people abused and defrauded by Scientology. That off-duty program ended in late 2001 when the Lisa McPherson Trust was closed.

    How Scientology got a tax exempt status is mind boggling. These cops should be absolutely ashamed of THEIR criminal behavior, unbelievable .

    • @MonicaFlorida

      They are so proud of their religious status, but they only got it because of major harassment and fake lawsuits filed against the IRS.

      The same way Christian Churches are tax exempt from the donation’s they receive. The difference between Christianity and Scientology is Christianity is only a faith system while Scientology is an application of certain practices which require a lot of time per individual. So the money paid to Scientology is via donations in which return the favor with auditing or courses given. How does Christianity get tax ex not from selling Christian Bibles? You’re starting to contradict what you stand on now. Are you trying to be a hypocrite? Do you not believe in the freedom of religious choice? Are you that authoritarian? You think we should live in a country where force is used to determine which religion a person believes in because if you’re not being a hypocrite, then that is what you’re saying.

      I'm going to do another video giving the history behind this. Bear in mind, this off-duty work ended in late 2001. When I moved back to Clearwater in 2013, the police have always been great to me. They even joined the firefighters in endorsing me in my reelection campaign. That's pretty amazing for a police force that wasn't at all happy about this video in 2000. I also led the charge in putting bodycams on the police, not because of any issues in the force but simply because I believe it's good for everyone concerned to have a record of what happens on a call. And the video often clears the officer.

      That was then. I believe the police are good now.

    This historical evidence is so important, especially for the younger activists who are not aware of the history of the anti-scientology movement.
    The corruption of the Clearwater Police allowed child trafficking to flourish in their streets, it is so shameful

    Now as much as I hated to see Mark not be on Clearwater"s DDB anymore, the fact that now all these remastered videos can appear makes it all so worth it :) Just wonderful!!!

    It's unfortunate that you lost your seat in the recent election. It makes it seem as if nothing in Clearwater has changed since 2000 when you released this video. If the police, the IRS and the FBI are unwilling to investigate this criminal organization, what can be done?
