Climate activist Greta Thunberg has been charged with a public order offense after being arrested at a demonstration against an oil industry conference in London.
Ah yes, the classic “just following orders” defense. I’m glad we didn’t have a big war crime trial about 80 years ago where we collectively agreed that was horse shit.
So do you think the German police were fine and moral one day and then the next there stuffing people into gas Chambers and everything is black and white like that. Or do you think they started rounding up dissenters and undesirables first?
Civil enforcement, where “police” are not a seperate class with special rights and are not exempt from morality.

Come on. There’s quite a difference between the police following the law, and people being lead to their death.
If you disagree with the police following the law, what alternative would you suggest?
