In this Jan. 28, 2011 file photo, an Egyptian anti-government activist kisses a riot police officer following clashes in Cairo, Egypt. Ten years ago, an uprising in Tunisia opened the way for a wave of popular revolts against authoritarian rulers across the Middle East known as the Arab Spring. For a brief window as leaders fell, it seemed the move toward greater democracy was irreversible. Instead, the region saw its most destructive decade of the modern era. Syria, Yemen, Libya and Iraq have been torn apart by wars, displacement and humanitarian crisis. (AP Photo/Lefteris Pitarakis, File)
I have infinite respect for policemen and soldiers who defy orders out of moral
EDIT : To all smug guys who say it's basic human decency. Everyone don't live in a peaceful country where you can so easily defy your superior orders.
I have an infinite respect for people who defy orders from a hierarchy that would rather shot them dead on the spot than dealing with them. Do you all really think you would have the courage to defy order if a superior was behind you with a gun pointed on your back ?
This soldiers who refused to shot will likely face heavy retaliation, maybe death sentence, for his courage. It's not that easy to defy orders you don't like.
