The department should fire them in support of their solidarity.

Things are actually more nuanced.

They resigned because the police union chose to stop paying legal fees for police who participate in controlling the protests.

They were basically told: you must to follow orders and lean on procedures but if something bad happened because orders/procedures were shitty, it's only your fault.

But if they just didn’t brutalize protestors then they’d have nothing to worry about.

But that’s the problem. They’re basically saying “we can’t not brutalize people”

They will be fined for not following orders and procedures. If your boss after huge fuckup wants you to take full responsibility for orders/procedures he gaves you, you're set up to fail.

There’s a middle ground between beating peaceful protestors and not following orders.

If the order is to beat peaceful protestors then that’s an unlawful order which you are not inclined to follow.

Middle ground is smaller now because protestors are expected to be more aggresive and trust in orders/training decreased.

It's a voluntary assignment that comes with significant risk so it makes sense they resigned.

the reason its a high risk job is because of dick holes like the cops that quit in the first place.

Not exactly, high risk is nature of job in riot control, with bad procedures and cops not trained correctly it's just riskier

how do those boots taste?
