The Right to Resist — and the Duty to Interpose

“The point of this charade, Erakat insists, is summarized in this question: ‘What if no one stopped to help you while you were getting bullied?’ This updated and expanded take on the Parable of the Good Samaritan posits an affirmative moral duty to intervene to protect an innocent person who is being bullied by an aggressor.  Assuming that principle is valid, shouldn’t it apply to aggressive violence by people acting on behalf of the State – police officers, in particular? Don’t bystanders have a moral responsibility to intervene, in any way possible, to protect someone being beaten or otherwise abused by a cop?”
