Food For Thought

You're driving down the street, and suddenly a cop jumps out and stops you, turns and waves people to come out of a church. This is an off-duty cop paid by the church to direct traffic. Is this bribery? The cop has been paid by a private organization (one that doesn't even have to pay taxes, mind you) to favor drivers that are members of this organization. I say this is bribery, pure and simple. What do you think? If you care enough to formulate a response, please email me at benskott@hotmail.com
