Police have no duty to protect you, but they do not have the right to stop you from saving the life of your child. I disagree, I believe the parents have a strong legal case.
“Police have no duty to protect you,”
That’s a technicality. Police are there to protect us. Why else do they exist?
I imagine the police get far more reports of wacko behavior than they have time to investigate, and I imagine that 99% of the wackos they do investigate are a waste of their time because the they are found to have broken no law so law enforcement can do nothing.
