Without a doubt, the Police Department's "public safety mission" is to protect their public employees, not private citizens.

In a similar fashion, citizens are not obligated to protect police when they are in trouble, either.

But don't you dare get any silly ideas about defending yourself.

So the cops don’t have an obligation to protect you...and you can’t have a gun to protect yourself... and we are wondering why the predatory class is in the driver’s seat?

No obligation? Do they *really* think that a jury will go along with that claim? My God...the closest I've ever been to attending law school is having walked past Harvard Law School on a number of occasions but I know not to use *that* as a defense against such a lawsuit.

Will Smith once observed that “NYPD” stands for “knock your punk a$$ down”.

So the cops dont have an obligation to protect you...and you cant have a gun to protect yourself... On my many rides on the NYC subway system I've seen (more than a few times) an official notice from the city that it's illegal to posses a toy gun that looks like a real one.I kid you not!

In this premise, cities would be better off allowing those that want to be, be armed.
Even if you ‘restrict’ to those that are ‘worthy’ of it due to past indiscretions etc.
Let that happen and
the ‘bad guys’ can kill each other off (they are doing that now).
you can FIRE all police other than small, investigative units, to solve crimes AFTER they are committed. (listen to them and they will tell you that their job is to ‘solve’ crimes and their presence works as a deterrent).
In this case, it is hard to say their presence ‘deters’ crime as the officers involved did NOTHING (according to story).
We don’t know what RESTRICTIONS are put on the officers to actually STOP and talk to someone acting ‘strange’.
How many of the people now ‘complaining’ the Police did nothing would have been ‘screaming’ the Police were using excessive force for stopping and questioning that ‘obviously sick man(woman)’ that was acting strangely?
Of course some of the more ‘Casper Milquetoast’ types among the present LEO’s probably interpret NO STOP AND FRISK to mean NO STOP and/or NO FRISK.

"To protect our pensions
and to serve our unions."
maybe that should be marked/stenciled on the NYPD cars, instead of "to protect our citizens.."
if i were in NYC, I would petition the parasitic gov't. to dissolve the City DA's office
and maybe some other Departments.

The police are there to:
-Protect their institution and the governmental body that funds them.
-To generate revenue for that governmental body.
-To enforce the laws that governmental body deems upon its people.
Protecting someone in the course of the above is incidental and at the officers’ discretion.

This incident is an example why the Founding States had made the 2nd Amendment. Instead of making third-party police protection a right, the Founders had made the 2nd Amendment to clarify that it is up to individual citizens to protect themselves by bearing arms.
