Here. This should simplify things for you.
Which group gets to tell the other group what to do? Do the cops get to tell the politicians or do the politicians get to tell the cops.
If you can answer that honestly, you will come to an understanding.
Just like the politicians that told the soldiers in Vietnam what they could and couldn't to.
You sound exactly like the left
And you sound like my retarded uncle. And he has a wooden leg.
Of course I like cops, and law, and order. But I don’t like cops who don’t stand up for the Constitution.
On this, we are in agreement. Every good cop HATES a bad cop. But a bad cop is not emblematic of cops as a whole, just as a bad soldier is not of all soldiers.
And 'bad cops' are a different subject than cops who are given parameters by bad politicians.
Do you finally see my point?

Which group gets to tell the other group what to do? Do the cops get to tell the politicians or do the politicians get to tell the cops.
Are you really going to tell me that people have an obligation to follow illegal orders. i don’t care who gives them. If my boss tells me to rob a bank, And I know I am robbing a bank, I don’t get a pass because it was a work order.
1. Man grabbing and running away with a woman’s purse.
2. Woman walking with purse into store you notice her due to the beautiful red lipstick on her lips.
3. Woman spray painting a building she doesn’t own with graffiti.
4.Man attending a church service
5. Couple holding up a grocery store at knife point
6. Couple, while following all rules that the rest of staff must follows, visits aging parent in nursing home.
7. Man breaking the windows of a retail store he is running past.
8. Man, cutting the hair of a paying customer.
9. Man, rushing the stage at a “back the blue” event.
10. Man, filming on public property the empty hospital that the MSM claimed was overrun.
A five year old could tell you that the odd posts are illegal activity and the even posts aren’t. Why are you so insistent that we pretend the cops don’t know this isn’t illegal activity? And, of course good cops hate bad cops. Thanks to people like you who won’t help stop them, these bad cops endanger all the good cops that are out there. Sadly, they are forced to endure them cause you won’t help stop them. You defend bad cops.
As far as stand down orders, I am no spring chicken, but had I been in Chicago and been right near a Trump supporter being brutalized, I would have at least tried to help. I’m pretty good at kicking, biting and fingernail gouging. To see police men standing there and doing nothing? There are not words.
Lastly, you better stop disparaging our military. These brave do not historically go in and follow illegal orders. I’m pretty sure we have a name for that, it’s called war crimes. To compare a cop not knowing it ok to go in and open business to cut hair, and a soldier taking military orders on troop movement is shocking.
