Now if the police had an opportunity to stop this fleeing violent armed felon and didn't, and that same felon assaulted me soon afterward, I'd be a rich man thank you City of Porterville.
That is what I meant by "violent felon." He isn't a "suspect" - he was followed from the moment of the commission of the crime, in hot pursuit, by the kid, before shots were fired. There is no doubt about the identity of the criminals.

I don't believe you are correct. The police have no duty to protect individuals, and you can't sue them if they failed to protect you, even if they promised to do so. Read Dial 911 and Die. Well, strictly speaking, you can sue them but you will lose.
