Why would anyone would assist an LEO in the performance of their duty? The cop has all these legal protections that we don’t. He can’t be sued where we sure as hell can. Does anyone think the City is going to pay for your attorney when the criminal adds your name to the list of people he’s suing for A, B,C, D, E, and F?
Actually, cops can be sued, fairly easily....you know, because they’re the ones that are supposed to be so highly trained in dealing with anything....in all seriousness, they do have a higher level of accountability than us civilians...what you’re thinking of, are the instances of the departments covering for their officers when they screw up....what normally happens then is, the city and the department throw the cop under the bus, saying they performed something outside of their training or department SOP’s and are personally responsible for what happened...we, the department and city, are not responsible....and then, at the end of the day, they settle and the whole thing is forgotten about, until the next occurrence of complete incompetence...and so it goes round and round
