What I've written I've actually agreed with your points and I detailed them.
It's the thereafter I'm speaking of. A quick and easy example would be look at how police managed covid in Australia with the beating of elderly people, and many others in broad daylight in front of many witnesses and putting them into a paddy wagon. We saw this on the news the world over. Should law enforcement officers have done this and would you have done it?
I want to be very clear, I'm not anti-police in the slightest but I certainly hold individuals responsible for their choices and actions as we can always say no if we really want to...can't we.
How many times are people told, if you don't like the job or agree with mgmt. you should leave it. This also equally applies to police officers and why wouldn't it.
I say again, I know many people will do as they're told no matter what as they need to feed a family but that doesn't exonerate them for their choice and actions thereafter.
