Bull. We settled that question at Nuremberg. The individiual policemen are responsible for their actions. Which judge do you suppose it was that ordered that cop to handcuff a 10 year old boy?
Bull back to you! Would you give up your job because someone you don't know is doing something idiotic?
If so, get in your car and go down and give that woman some water. If your boss objects to your being gone and you get fired, too bad for you.
