Yep, SFA didn't think this post through.

They never do.

Let's all move to Slab City - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slab_City,_California

The closest body of civilization with proper law enforcement is approximately four miles (6.4 km) southwest of Slab City in Niland where the residents often go to do basic shopping. As a result, the site is described by its inhabitants and news outlets like Vice News as a miniature de facto enclave of anarchy.

I don't like seeing this either, but as I understand it, the mayor drew the line and had the police withdraw from that area. The police take orders, and those orders resulted in the occupied area.

The point is that taking unethical or immoral orders and following them is itself unethical and immoral. We heard the "We were just following orders, Sir!!" in World War II. It does not hold up as an excuse. Shame on the Chief the rank and file. The Mayor's orders do not stop one from resigning.
