If they are not willing to do the right thing then they are in the wrong line of work. That said, you have a fair point. I'm not really talking about a single cop defying the orders of his boss.

What I'm getting at here is that entire police departments should be coming out and saying they will not enforce illegal orders, as some have. This happens when the rank and file make it clear to their bosses they are not comfortable with certain orders, and their bosses then make it clear to the public they will not support the abuse of power by mayors and governors. There has not been nearly enough of this.
