I’m going to side with the cops on this one. No duty to protect - an arrest evading drug addict.
I have to agree. If the details in the linked account are reasonably accurate, I can’t side with the plaintiffs.
That said, they will win. Sadly. It is a payday for a family that wouldn’t do enough to keep their loved one off drugs, but have the energy to sue for money.
Getting near a drowning person can be deadly for both. This guy would be alive if he did have such a s***head for a mother. How does that sit?
