But the analogy fails because police officers are not blind to their policies
A model police officer is exactly like a model soldier, they are functionally a PUPPET of the chain of command.
The person who follows orders to the best of their ability is NEVER RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR INDIVIDUAL ACTIONS.
An individual is only responsible for their individual actions if they "go off script" or "act in bad faith" or "start thinking for themselves" (in other words, "break the chain of command").
