Here's a fun ethical dilemma. A doctor has an ethical duty to his patients. Civil disobedience is the ethical action here.

-
There is a competing ethical framework that tells you to obey authority no matter what. This is weaker but it's extremely prevalent.
-
The doctor chose his professional and moral code over the vision of American perfection. This may seem small but has big historical roots.
-
Physicians in Nazi Germany chose the vision of the Reich over duty to patients. They chose the State over Do No Harm.
-
So when a doctor chooses Do No Harm over the State, that is a not small thing.
-
You can be a proud patriot and not be beholden to defend the state over other matters. That is central to our modern world.

Agreed. No dilemma there

Eh, there is a competing (weaker) ethical framework where one must obey police. So it's a dilemma but a weak one.

It's shocking to me that the procedure when they decided they had to involuntarily bump boarded passengers didn't include discretion.
-
Like pick randomly, but then only actually bump the childfree passengers after a quick discussion about their circumstances.

I'm sorry but "refusal to voluntarily move"aka saying NO is a choice that is given with the voluntary part.If that isn't,it's not voluntary!
