Almost without exception all European police forces obeyed and participated in German Nazi round up of their own citizens. In Germany the first Nazi concentration camp was set up and run by the Berlin Chief of Police.
I am unaware, ever, of any organized Police protest, ever, against any good, bad or indifferent law. If the ink, smeared on wood pulp is describe as ‘law’ and orders people into camps, ditches whatever, the police as an institution will obey, even though in fact they are but fellow citizens with powers derived from their fellow citizens.
Wrong. Tens of Thousands of Law Enforcement Officers use their discretion each and every day in refusing to enforce absurd laws. I know officers who in their decades of service not once wrote a seat-belt ticket, because they believed that seat-belt laws were absurd and nonsensical. I know others who refuse to enforce pro-arrest policies at domestics. There are very few mandatory arrest provisions in law, very few. In all the others, individual officers can utilize their discretion on whether to charge an offense or not.
What happens with the constant reductio-ad-hitlerum that is prevalent among libertines, is chasing good people out of the police forces, people who will exercise their discretion in a good way. If good people won't join the police forces, they will be replaced by people who shouldn't be there. That's exactly what the Communists have wanted since the 1950s.
Actually,the Nazis sytematically replaced the old,traditional police officials and officers with Nazi Party functionaries and Nazi street thugs, in a process that took several years.Not unlike today ,where the emphasis has shifted from keeping the peace to enforcing the laws.There is a difference though many say it is only semantics.The attitude and the increased willingness to follow orders are the result of deliberate conditioning.
