The guy ignored orders (probably drunk), hit a cop, and had stolen items on him.

Not all orders are lawful; it is somewhat disturbing that your response here is "he ignored orders."

Not all enlisted men are full of honor, as we so glibly and loftily assume here.

And not all police are honorable either... in fact, I've heard of them robbing the homeless.

‘Not all orders are lawful; it is somewhat disturbing that your response here is “he ignored orders.”’

1st off, I had a LIST of things he did wrong, apparently. INCLUDING HITTING A MAN WITH A CAR. (Never mind the stolen items on his person, apparently, although that’s after the fact - I guess.)

2nd, as with all articles, this 1 does not have all the facts. You assume apparently this order to stop is “unlawful”. You can’t assume that because you don’t know what happened to instigate this per the article.

“not all police are honorable either..”

Did I say they are? Stop jumping to conclusions based on limited writings.

The truth is FR is rife with people who hate cops, while I’m yet to see anyone question any armed-forces member. They HAVE done wrong, you know. Hence my comment about enlisted men and FR’s assumptions.
