Just caught a news bulletin about the police officer stabbed to death in Manchester, and got a bit paranoid that some Daily Mail reader could stumble across this and accuse me of "comparing the police to concentration camp guards". That's NOT what i'm doing, can i state loud and clear. I was making no direct comparison between the functions of the two.

All i'm saying is that a legal (and i'd argue, ethical) precedent was set at Nuremburg. It states clearly that people cannot pass responsibility for their actions up a chain of command. Human actions cannot be justified legally or morally by using "I was ordered" as a defence.

That precedent applies equally to any and all hierarchical organisations; companies, the police force, the civil service... you name it.
