Your boss is a fool. But I could not, would not sit by and let my coworkers get shot. A bit disappointed by that. You have legal cover as well.

Over my 40 year career, I’ve noticed invariably an incompetent manager will select candidates who are even less competent than they are. It’s a straight ego thing. That type of personality is obsessed with appearances, and loses focus of their original mission of actually accomplishing work. It becomes in-bred behavior after a while until the whole department is a mess.

I DO expect cops to do what it takes to save “even” children.
(II prefer KJV: “For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die.”)
Each translation has it’s points.
