Christians File Lawsuit Saying Cops Did Not Protect Them Muslims

From the Detroit Free Press: A legal center filed a lawsuit this week against the Wayne County Sheriff's Office, claiming its officers failed to protect Christian activists who carried a pig's head while protesting Islam at the annual Arab International Festival in Dearborn.
Filed in Detroit, the lawsuit says that deputy chiefs in the department violated the constitutional rights of the Christian missionaries by not allowing them to "engage in Christian religious speech and expressive activities."...
On June 15, a group of Christian missionaries from California known as the Bible Believers arrived at the Arab festival with large signs denigrating Islam and its prophet. Some of the signs read: "Islam is a religion of blood and murder" and "Muhammad is a ... liar, false prophet, murderer, child molesting pervert." They also carried a pig's head mounted on a pole. Muslims consider pigs to be unclean.
Some youths in the crowd became upset at the signs and started hurling water bottles at the Bible Believers. The lawsuit claims that stones and debris also were hurled.
"We have an angry and violent mob of Muslims intent on suppressing free speech and law enforcement officials aiding and abetting the violence in violation of the Constitution," Muise said.
Paula Bridges, a spokeswoman for Wayne County Sheriff Benny Napoleon, did not comment this week on the lawsuit. In June, she said of the Christian group:
"While Sheriff Napoleon respects everyone's right to freedom of speech, it's unfortunate that some have chosen to exploit and taint what was to be a peaceful, community event."  http://www.freep.com/article/20120928/NEWS05/309280130/Lawsuit-Wayne-County-Sheriff-s-Office-failed-to-protect-Christian-activists-at-Dearborn-festival?odyssey=mod|newswell|text|FRONTPAGE|p
It seems like this "Christian" group wanted to provoke the Muslims into a confrontation.
But if the reverse happened, would the cops protect Muslims from Christians, if the Muslims provoked Christians into fighting them by making fun of Jesus on the cross?  Probably.
If I were a judge and/or jury, I would give the Christian group $1 and tell them to go away.
