Philosophy Professor Responds to Police Brutality

by | May 27, 2020

Do you get extra rights by getting a job with a group called government? Does getting paid to do an immoral action, justify you performing the immoral action under the guise of “I was just doing what I was told to”?

To summarize Professor Jason Brennan idea:

Whatever you can do in self defense, or in self defense against others, against anything that I Jay Brennan do, you can do against the U.S. President.

Moral Parity thesis: The claim that, conditions under which you are able to resist injustice conducted by a government official, even when acting in the capacity of their office, are exactly the same as the conditions under which you’re allowed to resist non state actors.

Special Immunity thesis: Some government agents enjoy (are entitled to) a special kind of immunity against resistance
