Most will do what they're told. The older ones may just go home to protect their families like they did in New Orleans during Katrina. Some will break out iinto maurading packs (again like during Katrina) in search of personal gain. Few will drop the badge and defend freedom unless more of their brothers do as well. Most will obey the political appointee's directives with clear conscience because they will be working under the "I'm just following orders" or "I got my brothers backs" (which is very powerfull) mentality. You've seen it when they were told to back down during the riots. You've seen it when they were told to back down during the looting and murders in the streets. You've seen it when they arrested the young lad in Wisconsin who was defending himself, with clear evidence on video, from grave bodily harm and/or death. You've seen it when they were told to acquiesce to the takeover of city blocks by terrorists. Sorry for the rant.
