They swore an oath to uphold the constitution... they should probably get a copy and brush up on what that means. Following an illegal order isn't going to save them when the time comes for being held responsible. Shooting someone for yelling at them is not part of what is legal for them to do... not for the police, not for ICE, not for the national guard and certainly not for the military.
