Duh. Same goes with the military. People are more afraid of going hungry or not being able to support their burdensome families than they are of sacrificing honor and morality. If someone will profit by it, you will be stepped on!

Orders are passed down and carried out without question. Question such orders and you will be reprimanded without explanation. This is certainly not the behaviour of a freedom loving and considerate set of leaders.
It seems to me that anyone who demands others to carry out a task without question or reason is bordering on psychopathic.
Many decent people may work for the government, but to carry out the orders of people who they do not trust themselves for a monthly paycheck is wrong on so many levels.
Forcing others to do ones dirty work using the threat of a paycheck is a covert and hidden form of tyranny people really need to understand.

Agreed. Can anyone point out one single story of a cop refusing orders during legal protests? Just one
I'm a former marine. We followed orders. If not, the consequences could be creative and in no way tied back to your refusal. It happened to me. I gave in after 30 days.

They should follow some orders....
Why dont we talk about specific things. Seems like your trying to rationalize something illegal that you do.

What sort of people would be attracted to a profession where you actually get paid to rough people up and imprison them? Just the sort of overzealous head-bashers we've got! And just like most people, they don't like spending tons of money on toys (guns and such) that they don't get to use.

These are the people who state "there are too many people on the planet"! And are willing to kill everyone (including freinds) so they can have it for themselves. I do not say this on a whim but only after many years of close observation.
