They have to do it.

LOL !! "Just following orders". Didn't work at Nuremberg, so it won't work for anyone in the Executive Branch of the US govt or the military (long-established precedents).
Alright. You made me come up there and now....
There is a difference (And I know you know this) between following a lawful order that is not untoward, and fully within the normal purview of the office issuing said order, and mindlessly or even gleefully acting in a way you know is A) wrong and B) not within your scope and rationalizing it on the basis of "Following Orders." Although it does get complicated and more "gray" when you get into threats, coercion, who's got the best information in that environment and other complicating factors. Remember Hamilton: Control of a man's livelihood is control of a man's will.)
The executors in this case have no basis to refuse to pick up someone at a school or church no matter how unseemly it might be even when they know the reason why. They have no reason rough them up. For all I know at the moment the shlubbs doing the dirty work are being briefed that everything is in-accordance-with. If you want to keep something a secret you don't tell everybody. "Need to know basis." They might have had no idea it was such an egregious set-up. That's one reason why I'm thinking they not be real cops but a pick-up team.
Which brings us to the next item. Didn't work Nuremburg ergo it won't work for these guys? That has yet to be seen. It only worked at Nuremburg because they lost
I've never been in the Ex Branch but I have been in the military and had these briefings.
