“The Supreme Court has said multiple times that the police have no duty to protect any particular individual”
That gives police license not to do do jack...especially if it involves danger to themselves. Just let the public take care of business and stick to sitting radar in speed traps. That would save a lot of innocent people and dog lives as a bonus.
Not really, the police have no duty to protect people from a situation. If police are called and they allow a crime to continue to happen by doing nothing, they could be culpable.
Maybe?
