The police official giving the stand in place order should be charged with the deaths of all those who were killed or died for lack of help.

A case can certainly be made for this.

I'm pro-police but this is not acceptable. Even a soldier or LEO should know when given bad orders. No one knows the situation first hand like the soldier/LEO on the scene. I hope when the police are told to go after American citizens for some bad reason or another; they do the right thing and help those citizens instead of kill them. Soldiers and LEO's are not mindless droids with no conscience. They can and should think for themselves when given a bad or lawless order.

If soldiers and police didn’t follow bad orders the Nazis would have got nowhere.How many bad Swat raids happen in the US every year?How many police follow bad orders every day9usually involving revenue generation).How many police or others care more for their pension than freedom and Constitutional rights?

I fear that all too many police in America will be no different than the Gestapo or Stasi;just ask the Branch Davidians,Randy Weaver,anyone terrorized by “wrong address” Swat raids,anyone had their dog shot by Officer Unfriendly,blacks beaten unjustly by police in the 1960s anyone had their property and/or money taken through asset forfeiture without a criminal conviction,etc. ad nauseum.

The police are needed but they must always be watched closely lest they become a defacto standing army used by tyrants locally and nationally.

"I grabbed my assault rifle and ran toward the club."

Do police really call their weapons that?

Waco. Ruby Ridge. Lavoy Finicum. I wouldn't hold my breath waiting on State assassins to "do the right thing".
