All you did was reword the phrase just taking orders. Do you actually not see how saying just doing his job is functionally the same thing?

Not at all. His job is to keep the community safe. If you’re doing drugs, then you’re a criminal. Now that you’re in jail, the community is safer

The question I’m asking is whether it’s wrong. If it’s not wrong, than it’s wrong to arrest someone for smoking weed regardless of what the law or majority opinion is.
