Many people believe the police will protect them, instead of cowering in a locked compartment a few feet away while a brave, unarmed man, does their job.

The city, meanwhile, claimed that the NYPD had no "special duty" to intervene at the time, and that they were in the motorman's car because they believed Gelman had a gun. And Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Margaret Chan has sided with the city, noting that there was no evidence the cops were aware Lozito was in danger at the time.Does not compute.
They were chickensh!t cowards. Wonder if they'll find some excuse to file for "disability" when it comes time to collect their pension benefits.

If the constitution guarantees the right to life, and the people the society hires to protect you have no obligation to protect you then you should have the right to do so with any weapon you have.

The transit officers were not trained to do any differently. They may also have gotten their signals crossed.

If you think the homicide rate is high now, wait until Barry and the ‘RATS ban guns.

At least give him the cops' pay for that day. After all, he did their job.
Perhaps the greatest value of this decision is to have something printed to stick up ... er, insert ... no, that's not it ... roll up and hit a liberal on the nose when they say you don't need a gun, just call a cop.

These cowards have only one duty and that is to protect Bloomberg and his minions.

claimed that the NYPD had no "special duty" to intervene Yep. Plus NYC basically bans law abiding citizens from owning a gun to defend themselves.
Yep. You are a slave.

This is old news. The US Supreme Court ruled back in the 80's that police have no responsibility to protect you.
Warren v District of Columbia
I couldn't find a shorter summary.

But don’t protect yourself. That’s a felony.
BULL$h!t!!!!!

And if Joseph Lozito had used a firearm instead, the coward cops would have been out of that motorman's car in a heartbeat to arrest him.

He should sue Bloomberg for unconstitutionally infringing on his 2nd amendment right to defend himself.

When seconds count, the police are only minutes....errr..FEET...away.
In the Police States of America, cops exist to collect taxes from motorists and to crush your pets to death when they raid your home over unpaid jaywalking tickets.

If they had no evidence that the victim was in danger, why were they locked in the cab?
