Not exactly, My view on the Police is that they are nothing more than paid enforcers and political pawns. I see very little in the term as Peace Officers, they are now Law Enforcement officers and they act exactly as the term sounds. But I will never forget my Grandfather telling us kids how he fought against Hitler and his Law Enforcement officers the SS.

Charlotte, Britain’s first black queen is illogical.

How far is Mecklenburg-Strelitz from the Schwartzwald?

I didn’t know that. Show us a statute.

No statute, but a 2005 Supreme Court Ruling.

Justices Rule Police Do Not Have a Constitutional Duty to Protect Someone

Many politicians, racists, hustlers and tyrants have an agenda that consists mostly of making the U.S. Constitution meaningless.

Fabian society still at work.

“No statute, but a 2005 Supreme Court Ruling.”

Thanks for the reference to the ruling.

We need to reconcile that with the police showing up at public events. Why are they at public events? To keep things peaceful which means stopping violence and arresting lawbreakers.

Why do they do that? Seems to me to protect people and property at the public events.

Are policemen free to leave a riotous scene if they feel threatened? My answer would be only if their superiors ordered them to leave.

On the PBS website page for this episode, Valdes interprets an excerpt of a poem reproduced there as attesting to Charlotte’s African features,[35] but it clearly refers to her as descended from the Vandals, an East Germanic tribe.

Critics of Valdes’ theory point out that Margarita’s and Madragana’s distant perch in the queen’s family tree – nine and 15 generations removed, respectively – makes any African ancestry that they bequeathed to Charlotte negligible.[38] In addition, Charlotte shared descent from Alfonso and Madragana with a large proportion of Europe’s royalty and nobility.[38]

Madragana was perceived by Valdes as African because she was described as a Moor by a single author.[39] This is denied by most other authors,[40][41][42][43][44] that point out that Madragana was most likely a Mozarab: an Iberian Christian living in the Iberian Peninsula when it was under Muslim control.[45]
