A LEOs Responsibility Is To Disobey Orders When It Is Morally or Ethically Wrong
Posted on 12/15/16 at 7:59 am

So one the comments in the thread about the citizen who was vindicated after shooting cops during a no knock raid on his home was
These aren't 4 year olds, they're 40 year olds. 40 year olds that damn well should know the difference between right and wrong. The law enforcement system is supposed to be made up of people within the community for a reason. It's because people in their own communities should never enforce laws that are morally or ethically unjust. Unfortunately this happens all the time, every day. Good people will spend the rest of their lives in jail over a plant that has been proven to have substantial medicinal benefits and it's this same mindset by LEOs that will blindly throw people in jail simply because they're following orders. It's a LEOs responsibility to stop enforcing laws that they know full well are morally or ethically wrong. That is the premise of having a system made up of the people in the community. Agree or disagree?

Why couldn't you have posted this as a reply in that thread?
Are you a special little snowflake whose ideas need to be specially showcased?

It's a completely different argument and separate point altogether. Who the frick are you, the thread police?

Great idea. Let's just let every cop decide what to do in their own.

If I were, I would apparently have to disobey orders that are unjust.

Is that not what they do already? Go read a few bad-cop-no-doughnut threads and notice how our lovely LEO posters champion their use of discretion.

You could have just said illegal, an illegal plant, we would have known what you meant
It's not that hard to not smoke weed, really don't understand why you frickers make it seem like it is.
If somehow that step eludes you, there are magical places you can do it legally

I always enjoy the plight of the pothead.
Pothead: Man weed should like be legal because it has all these awesome health benefits like...
Me: SO which one of those diseases do you have?
Pothead: I don't have it but they should make it legal for the people that do.
Me: I agree medical marijuana should be legal.
Pothead: Not just medical, pot should be legal for everyone.
Me: So you just want to legalize pot so you can get high?
Pothead: Nah I do that already I just don't want to have the chance of getting in trouble for it, I mean nah man did you not listen to my reasoning for it.
FWIW I think we should declassify all drugs and let Darwinism take it's course. Tax the crap out of them, free up rooms in prisons, close some prisons down, and force sheriffs offices and PDs to actual keep citizens safe instead of spending inordinate amounts of time chasing drugs in order to get more federal money.

While I agree some orders should be over ruled based on morals and ethics, a fricking plant has nothing to do with morals and ethics. Arresting someone for stealing a loaf of bread because they're starving would involve a moral decision. You do not need a plant. It may have benefits, but it is not necessary for most people to consume. Most people do it based on a want. Morals and ethics only related to things people actually need. You get the dumbass award today.

This is dreamland.

You're part of the problem if you form your opinions based on what you feel someone does or does not need. How about you let people decide for themselves?

you must be high if you think everyone shares the same idea of moral and ethical
How bout they enforce the laws as written by the legislature and/or interpreted by the courts?

Looks like we have a runner up for statement of the day. Good job.
You don't decide what you need. You either need it or you don't. You can decide what you want all day long though, buddy.

Whether you think its cool or not, I'm right.
Were you sick that day in school, when they taught the difference between need and want?

You sound exactly like a dumbass cop.
The point isn't whether or not I need it you dumb motherfricker. The point is that this is a harmless plant. It doesn't impact you or anyone else if I or anyone else smokes it. It's not even a violent offense, yet people are being imprisoned for the rest of their lives for possessing it. That's morally and ethically fricked up. No one disagrees that most of the advocates for the legalization of marijuana don't need it as a medical necessity. The point is that it's harmless and doesn't impact your life if me or anyone else chooses to ingest it. It's illegal because pharmaceutical companies, police unions, alcohol companies, and for-profit prison companies lobby so hard against it because they stand to lose profits when it gets legalized. Sorry you're too dense to understand this.
