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

“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.
