Have you ever been told to break the law? Commit a crime? Engage in some illegal activity?

Did you do it? I don’t know you you have any spiritual or moral convictions, but I’ll assume you do. There are lines that you won’t cross, right?

This police officer was told to cross a line. He apparently is a man of conservative principles and he stood firm in his convictions.

God bless him.

Um, no. My job has never asked me to break the law. They didn't ask this cop to break a law. He's free to his principles. I'm sure he and I share a number of them.

However, when you take a job you are subject to their guidelines. If my job tells me to go to an event, I go. If not, I can quit or accept the punishment.

Yes, as a matter of fact, I have been told to do things I knew violated the law. I walked away from extremely good paying jobs on two occasions. The hardest part wasn’t standing by my convictions. That was easy. The hardest part was knowing the decision I made wouldn’t just impact my life, but that of my family too. Nonetheless, I made my complaint known to my employer and when the employers refused to back down, I had to back out and leave the company.
