I disagree.
People who use the "I am just doing my job." excuse usually are doing it, and doing it within the bounds of the law.
The law is a servant, not a master. It is there to affirm the self-existing rights of people and to codify justice, but it only has legitimacy to the degree that it gets those things right. Bad laws SHOULD be disregarded and disobeyed.
MAYBE one could argue that a more emotionally detached "official" authority might lead to the ability to have better and more just judgement, but I doubt it and have no problem with actual justice coming however it may. Most of what happens in our legal system has zero to do with justice anyway. There's a small amount of protection for people by taking criminals out of the general population, but true justice involves making victims whole, which rarely ever happens.
I worked with a guy who caught a fellow tenant in his apartment building red handed messing with kids. That fellow tenant found himself running nude behind a pickup truck with fishing line attached to his unmentionables. How that is somehow less just than anything the state would have done IF they even convicted him is beyond me.
I don't think anybody else had any trouble understanding it, new guy.
This can't be a good development: Health department gives names, addresses of Tennesseans with COVID-19 to law enforcement – Tennessee Lookout
Hiring, Blind Compliance, and dysfunctional leadership.
Have you ever been passed over for a job? A Promotion? Or served on a hiring committee where the “best” person was not chosen?
Well, the most likely answer is there was something wrong with YOU. However, there has been a clear trend over the last 30yrs or so and should be considered.
Political correctness, in the corporate and vast civil service, gives favor to diversity over strict qualification. This may explain some of the current dysfunction. We all know that. But more insightful is that we favor those that exhibit risk aversion. People that follow rules over those that break rules. Compliance enforcers over innovators. The embracers of consensus over individual accountability.
Can this explain how everything caved so quickly and easily under Covid? The risk isn’t any higher now, the deciders have a lower tolerance for risk. We’ve been calling people leaders that simply aren’t. Am I wrong?
Anyone who will voluntarily submit to testing for this is a fool.
1) Those that control the tests and test results control the plan of the pandemic.
- I mean, I hear goats are coming back positive in some places
2) Even if your state, AT THIS TIME, is not releasing your info cops....how long before the data is used against you.
- I mean, it IS for the greater good. Right?
The media and the folks in charge are, in fact, our enemies.

I not only understood his post, I got lost in my own vision of what justice would look like for some of these asshats who are seeking to destroy life as well know it in America. SMILE>>>
People MUST understand this is not about a deadly virus. If it was, people who intuitively know to stay safe, at home, and take the necessary precautions with the available info via the internet and to a lesser extent TV.
