Instances like that one, whether you be a R or a D, should make us all realize what government in THIS COUNTRY is capable of doing.
I bet if you asked the FBI and ATF officers two months prior if they would terminally endanger innocent children if ordered to by their bosses, or quit....to a man they would have likely all said they would quit.
At the end of the day, law enforcement personnel and military personnel have to put food on their own tables and pay their own bills.
The result is that while they may like you, they love themselves (just like us all).
When starring down the possibility of losing their job due to insubordination or court marshal, the vast majority are going to carry out their orders IMO.
Elections really do have consequences, when those orders come from on high.
I truly believe at any given time, we are one presidential election away from the wheels falling off the wagon.
