Public functionaries and "conscience clause"

[Neil]

One exception that I can think of is police officers that refuse to be the sniper who shoots a kipnapper. Deliberately killing a human is where I would draw the line between what the state may demand of its civil servants and what it may not demand.

Not sure why somebody who's against killing would have sniper training to begin with.

The same reason all those people who were against war joined the US Army and the National Guard and then had to flee the country when the Iraq war started up.
