Morality is a necessary quality for law enforcement officers

Watching a movie at home on Sunday is "Sophie Scholl - Die letzten Tage" and "Sophie Scholl: Hope and Resistance" filmed in Germany in 2005. There is a domestic translation called "The Destruction of the Empire II", which refers to the two brothers and sisters in Munich. As a member of the White Rose anti-Hitler organization, who was unfortunately arrested in a leaflet operation, Sophie Shor, a 21-year-old girl, stood her ground and looked at her death. The story takes place in February 1945. Although the trial in the story is a farce orchestrated by the government, I was still struck by the extensive reconnaissance process ahead. Already preconceived by the brutality of the Nazis, Somoshur was another woman who, from the moment she was arrested, watched and worried for her that she was bound to face painful torture. But no, the scout first fully believed her seemingly satisfactory defense and decided to release her the next day. Just as it was about to be signed, the release was cancelled. Because the scouts found new evidence, in the face of the new evidence, Sophie admitted to the act of distributing the leaflets, and said that she did it all by herself. The scout, knowing she was lying, got up from the table and roared loudly, and my heart went out to the throat, the brutal Nazis, the brutal tactics, what nail pumping, tiger stools, chili water, and something specifically aimed at women The humiliation must have been used to the extreme... Thanks to me not covering my eyes, it turns out that there are no such tricks. The scout gave Sophie a cup of coffee and began to debate the issue of civic responsibility from the quality of the coffee. . Back in the cell, there was no soft and violent torture, such as "Boiled Eagle", "Hanging Man", etc. What happened? Are these all the patents of the Communist Party? These methods are still popular in China in the 21st century. What is the problem here?
It may not be appropriate to say so. I remember watching a domestic theme movie "The Sound of Wind" a few years ago, where the Kuomintang tortured the Communist heroine starring Zhou Xun as these cruel methods. How to explain the motive of the perpetrator? When they were destroying the same kind, they did not regard the tortured people as human beings, and their every move was a humiliation to the beasts. Such law enforcers, in fact, have no reverence for the law in their hearts, and their actions are just a leak of their dark psychology. The content of law is rights and obligations, but under the alienation of power, people without morality regard power as a force without boundaries, without considering that they should also be restrained. The "principle of man" in Western Christianity is: Treat others the way you want others to treat you. Our education is "do not do to others what you do not want to do to yourself". But these people reasoned the question with the logic of negation, and their logic was: I have a special status, why this as myself must be treated as if I were someone else when someone else can't treat me exactly the way I treat him way to act? (This is what Rousseau said in Emile, literally why does this as myself have to act as if I were another person, if I could basically never get myself into his situation?) But The so-called will of God is not so simple. The person you are dealing with may not have the ability to pay you back for your actions, but the people who grew up in the environment your actions fostered will pay you back in your way. Therefore, when we see Wen Qiang putting one foot on a person's head and posing for a big pose, we can basically guess his fate, and we don't have to listen to the rumors in the rivers and lakes that the person who was trampled said ruthlessly" You are more crippled than I am." Sure enough, there was a stronger Wang Lijun who used stronger means than Wen Qiang to deal with him, and he took care of more people, but Wang Lijun did not accept the lesson and thought he was "specially selected" ” In the end, he was injured by the sword, and had to abandon the sword to seek protection outside the system.
Therefore, I believe that a legal concept, a moral obligation and a reverence for the law are the most important, and strict compliance is the minimum premise, regardless of whether it is a good law or a bad law.

Not to sing praises for the Nazis, but such views may not be the subject of the film.
