The mentality of the SWAT team members speaks volumes. For instance, they really do know that what they were ordered to do is wrong, but they did it anyway, doubtless rationalized as we were only doing our job when in reality their jobs and ability to support themselves and their families are held hostage and used as a type of blackmail by morally corrupt higher ups.
It's the death camp guard defense; "I was only following orders."
