Re: Changing the institution from within

(Anonymous) 2013-04-08 12:59 am (UTC)(link)
people suggest that merely by joining the police/military/institution they have a real issue with you become complicit in its crimes.

That sort of generalization seems dangerously narrow-minded to me because it is rejecting reality. I'm not sure what you mean by 'institution' but I inferred you think all of these things are mostly corrupt, which is another generalization and one that I don't seen any validity to. Of course it varies by country/region/location/etc. but most military and police forces in the world are not corrupt. They have corrupt people in them, sometimes in major positions, but that doesn't mean the entire organization is corrupt.

you are going to leave these bodies staffed solely by the type of people you hate and breed toxic cultures.
Do you mean corrupt people? Or is this something else, like police officers who do not have a moral objection to arresting someone for drug offenses? If you're talking about corrupt people, I agree. Outside interference isn't usually as effective in overcoming corruption in military and police forces as internal interference. But if you're talking about the second kind of people, you've completely lost me on that one. Unless maybe you're talking about military and police in places where they are also the lawmakers? But I can't think of any place like that and that seems pretty unlikely.

I think if someone has a moral objection to carrying out lawful orders they may get while in the military, they should not join the military. If they do not agree with the laws the police are required to enforce, then they should not become a police officer. If someone were to join either the military or the police with the intent to not carry out their required, lawful duties because they have a moral objection to them, that person should be tried for sedition.
