This is how Republics collapse, from the inside. No moral backbone. No godly integrity. This woman is in the wrong job; she should be joyfully caring for her husband, kids, and her home, and not working for other men and with other men. But it appears the police men at the scene are of the same frame of mind as she is. They'll do whatever they are told, and they have no "brakes". They're all in the wrong vocation.
Law enforcement work is a privileged, unique position, it is not merely a mindless 9-to-5 job so you can get "yer paycheck" and provide for your family. Negatory, it is much, much more than that. The conception of American police is that they are deputized citizens who vow to represent us and stand in our place, and insure The Law (i.e. Biblical Law, then the US Constitution, then state and local laws) is not being ignored or perverted. In other words, they are caretakers of the law of the land. They voluntarily vow to do this when you sign-up. So, not only are they to uphold the law among those they have been deputized to represent out on the street, but back in the station with The Blue as well.
If then, they are being asked to do lawless tasks and duties by their superiors, they are morally required to say "No" and correct it, and/or always be ready to be striped of their deputized position due to corrupt leaders over them. It is part of their job. It is a dynamic built into the position that they must be aware of, and too, have the moral integrity to enact at any time.
Go and read Ordinary Men by Christopher R. Browning and don't be merely amused at this, but be very concerned at what you just watched.
