Lets discuss law and ethics for times like these…
There is a few areas I would like to explore.
SUPERIOR ORDERS
An “order” may come from one’s superior at the level of national law enforcement like the police.
But such an order from a senior is sometimes “unlawful”. Such an “unlawful order” presents a legal dilemma from which there is not a legal escape.
INTERNAL
On one hand, a person who refuses such an unlawful order faces the possibility of minor punishment by disciplinary action at the national level for refusing orders.
From thier employers department .
UNLAWFUL CRIMINAL ACTS
On the other hand, a person who acts on an unlawful order faces the possibility of or committing unlawful criminal acts.
ETHICS GOLDEN RULE
Just Treatment
The ethic of reciprocity, or Golden Rule. It states that one has a right to just treatment, and therefore they have a reciprocal responsibility to ensure justice for others.
HIGHER ETHICS
Higher ethics, such as those, could be used by an individual to solve the legal dilemma presented by the superior orders. Which police officers should take if witnessing certain unjust unethical treatment.
The fact that a person acted pursuant to order of his Government or of a superior does not relieve him from responsibility under law, provided a moral choice was in fact possible to him or her.
MORALS
Morally we know that what is right or wrong.
It is unlawful to take anothers life, immoral and unethical.
I wish all reading all the best in life
