The cops are trained to follow orders, even if the orders come from a nazi administration. The cops can’t ever question. They do what they are told. It never enters a cop’s mind to say “what the **** am I doing here? this is a child and I have guns”. No. Cop mind is on automatic pilot. Engage gun. Disengage mind.
That’s why the administration that sent them there is to blame. Obviously the EMT told them that this was a bunch of bible fanatics. Immediately the administration went ballistic.
Change this to the death cult and the administration would have done nothing.
The magistrates power and the cops gun are analogous here. This type of thinking is a symptom of diseased minds. Fifty years ago it would have been impossible to get cops to do many of these things because they would have questioned what was going on. It was a cultural thing.
That's actually quite right. I've noticed that cops don't tend to be very intelligent people, as a rule, and they certainly are NOT what anyone would define as "imaginative". They don't think for themselves, they just follow orders, go home, drink beer, sleep it off, and come back to work to follow more orders.
I seem to remember that sixty or so years ago a lot of people went to prison for "just following orders." I've seen, in the last few years, people still being punished for what happened then. Why should "cops" be treated differently?
