Cops have no duty to protect. How many times does that fact have to be revisited. They are supposed to catch the bad guys.
If they decide that they will no longer catch bad guys then justice cannot be served. Via the legal system that is.
Cops are in the business of enforcing the law no? That’s why they are called law enforcement.
So if laws are being broken in front of the the police, their business would be to enforce the law no? If a bank robbery is taking place and the police come upon it what would they do?
This is not about protecting anybody. It’s about enforcing the law.
