Does anyone have any other sources?

Agreed mostly, but then you get into the (in-)defensible thought, do you quit out of principles and be done, or stay on principle and try to counter bad leadership from within?
Human nature is to make the best of bad situations. If your work is gonna make highly unethical decisions, how do you address that? Especially when you are trying to raise a family and are worried about your pension?
What if they are slightly in the gray of legality and you know, but others don't, or dont seem to care, are you gonna be the one to tell your boss or try to counter it with your actions?
There are a lot of people even on GAW who admittedly work for some highly questionable companies, but we encourage them to stick it out.
I'm not trying to defend bad cops so much as trying to illustrate Matthew 7:1 & 3.
Yeah you quit out of principles, thats what principles are, especially when you took an oath. If the person wanted to stay to try and be a good cop the first order they were given that goes agasint their oath should be refused and if it leads to firing then so be it. This is a spiritusl battle, we must stick to our principles regardless of the physical consequences.
Its not anyone job to try and reform a corrupt institution from a low position within it, but its everyones duty to disobey unlawful mandates, it is not even a choice it is an obligation once you've taken an oath.
Theres a big difference betweeen becoming a public servant, taking an oath to protect the citizens, then going agasint that oath and working at a cabal owned corporation that isnt good.
No offense but i think you are looking at judging too broadly. I am not judging another Christians sins that I also commit, I am judging a person who has gone agaisnt the people they swore to protect. Matter 7:3 means you need to look at yourself first before you point out the sins of others, well im not a public servant. Jesus teaches directly in Matthew 18:15 that if your brother goes against you, you should confront them directly and privatly. So its not like the Bible condemns all kind of judging. I think the idea is that you shouldnt judge others for sinning as we are all guilty of sinning, and that if someone does somthing wrong you shouldnt lay them out publically to be hated by everyone.
