They are going to lose this lawsuit.
Justices Rule Police Do Not Have a Constitutional Duty to Protect Someone
This goes to a point I try to make in 2nd Amendment arguments, that “the public are the police”. The “uniformed police” are just a convenience, to do things the public finds difficult to do, either in the short or long term.
The purpose of the uniformed police is to:
1) Act as agents for the courts, and deliver those wanted by the courts to the courts, holding them before, during and after court hearings until released.
2) To collect and collate evidence of crimes, and doggedly pursue and detain criminal suspects and performing arrest and search with warrants.
3) To provide this evidence and testimony to prosecutors to secure criminal indictments before grand juries, and subsequently to criminal juries.
4) To act as a day and night watch.
5) To perform crowd and traffic control as well as to subdue riot.
On #5 they fail miserably.
