If the police don’t have a duty to protect us, then what is the point in having them?

That’s among other reasons why we have the 2nd Amendment. We have a duty to protect ourselves. It is the aim of the present rogue government to deprive us of that right and duty as well.

The primary duty of the Police is to enforce the law.
Protection of individual life was rule to be secondary to this objective. The two objectives often come into conflict.

For the last several years I have been calling the police “Uniformed Crime Scene Investigators”. They are, as we recently saw in Connecticut, very good at establishing what happened long after it happened.

When everything hits the fan, and it may be closer than any of us think, remember the police are minutes away after you dial 9-1-1 and the criminal that is threatening you and yours is less than a second away. Any questions?

We have police because someone has to do the paperwork after a crime has been committed.
