Cops showed up at the home of Calgary Christian Pastor Derek Reimer in the early morning hours, but he said he won’t be intimidated by threats.
(LifeSiteNews) – Police showed up at the home of Calgary Christian Pastor Derek Reimer this morning to tell him he would soon be arrested and charged because he protested a children’s drag queen story time at a public library over the weekend, saying “homosexuality is a sin.”
LifeSiteNews confirmed with Reimer today that police came to his house and told him his arrest was imminent, but officers left and did not take him into custody.
A video posted online this morning shows a member of the Calgary Police Service showing up at Reimer’s house.
An officer told Reimer that he will be arrested and charged due to him protesting a kids drag queen story time event held at the Seton Calgary public library this past Saturday.
“Can we talk about what happened on the weekend,” the officer said to Reimer.
Reimer replied, “Why are you showing up at my home?”
The officer then said to Reimer that they tried to call him ahead of their visit. The pastor, however, seemed surprised.
At this point, the officer said to Reimer that he needed to talk about what happened over the “weekend at Seton (the library at which he protested).”
The officer then told Reimer that he was “going to be arrested for it and charged,” later adding that warrants would soon be out for his arrest on charges of mischief and causing a disturbance.
Reimer serves as the pastor of Mission7 street ministry. On Saturday, he was forcibly removed from the Seton library after protesting at a children’s drag queen story time event.
Reimer told LifeSiteNews that his mission is to speak the name of truth as handed down by Jesus in the Gospels, and that is why he and others were protesting.
