Is “Just following orders” a valid excuse in the United States of America?  In today’s day and age of cell phone video we are starting to see more and more incidents of overreach, brutality and even murder.   We’ll look at what it is about this profession that attracts a certain type of person and believe me, this one is a hard one for me. I’m an adamant supporter of the men and women in blue but as more of these videos surface, it’s getting harder and harder to justify the behavior.
