I wasn’t a police officer, but was a peace officer for New York State. In our rules and regulations, there was a specific clause that dealt with unlawful orders. If we believed that the order we had been given was unlawful, and that it could lead to the death or injury of ourselves and others, then we had the right to disobey that order. Of course we would have had to defend ourselves later, but the option was available, and I’d have to believe that the same clause is covered in all police department rules and regulations manuals.
I see mayors and other politicians who are nothing more than organized criminals putting on airs like they are all that is good and honorable. We are controlled by an oligarchy of criminals. The politicians like to pose with police officers standing behind them as if to say that they are all for law and order. Politicians also enjoy the personal protection of police guards yet are the first to throw cops to the wolves when it serves their interests.
We need to give these criminals the disrespect they deserve.
Whats the difference between a police officer and a peace officer?
