[QUOTE="R. Johnson, post: 2692470, member: 10606"] Just following orders wasn't a defense in the Nuremberg Trials. It's not a defense here. Look, I'm not opposed to police agencies having a certain level of military style equipment and training, because there are events like the LA massacre, and you have to be able to respond to that sort of thing. Tactical teams, however, should be used extremely sparingly. An oath is an oath. The job of the police is to protect the civil liberties of the citizens. You protect them no matter what, even if it means you have to protect the citizens from your own boss. It's the same oath regardless of if you're the chief of police, or the point man in a raid. No excuses. [/QUOTE]
