Indeed.
Given the circumstances, I expect that would not be an easy task. I would assume that the OP does not recognize the existence (much less the authority) of the officer's source of morality, and I expect that the officer isn't going to recognize the authority of the OP's.
Neither is likely to gain any ground in such an exchange, I fear. That is, unless one can convince the other that their moral authority says the opposite of what they think it does.
