“Bureaucrats, inspectors, cops, and soldiers have guns. All of them, whether they realize it or not, have the power to damage and even ruin lives. When that happens, some maintain they’re just following orders. Instead, I want them to have a crisis of conscience. I want them to learn Ladar Levison’s lesson and declare, ‘I don’t want to become complicit in crimes against the American people.’ Right now, there’s a vast and growing body of evidence that the police are not here to protect and serve. They’re being given unlawful or immoral orders. Yet they’re NOT responding with Ladar Levison’s words.”
