“Shows that the cops either can’t or will not act to protect people.”
In some ways, its damned if you do, and damned if you don’t. One court might say a potential perp’s rights were violated because he hadn’t actually done anything yet. Another court would allow a negligence suit to go forward if authorities failed to act on information received. The activist liberal jurist may be the most dangerous threat we face.
And that’s the scary part, why should I throw all trust over to them, when there’s so much limitations on what the cops can do by themselves to protect regular people?
