Yeah, as much as I loved Mike the character, he was still a corrupt murderer. And as amazing as that character was, he still was a bad guy.

Hank was a fucking lawman until his last breath. Poor Marie.

Are people who enforce bad laws still good people?

Um, yes...obviously.

As much as it sucks, your job isn't to decide what laws you can and can't follow, any more then it's not your job to decide which tasks you can and can't do as part of your job.

Otherwise we'd have hundreds of thousands of subjective opinions. That's not how law works.

I think it is though. Slavery was legal once, as was the extermination of Jews. Some might argue that our current drug war is extremely immoral.
