I certainly would, if it happened to me. "Just following orders" has its limits. Any well trained and responsible Officer would be aware of 229.001. My concern would be making an example of the culprits so it would never happen again.
MY concern is with the Masters of the Dog - the dog is just following orders. Now, afore you LEO's get your backs up with my phrase, realize it's to define the issue as I see it. Because if I make the issue with the cop, the city will let him bear the brunt of the issue - and it's the city who should take it, not the cop.
