There are people walking around below. So yes they do have a duty to get this idiot stick off the building.

That is private property. Are you going to tell me they don’t have an obligation to remove him if the owner asks them to?

That's an obligation to clear trespass from a building. To the extent that they believe it is safe for THEM, they have an obligation to investigate the situation. But remove him? No obligation. Safely? Only their safety is obligated.

The law protects them, no one else.

You clearly don’t know what the hell you’re talking about.

I want you to put that thinking cap on and try to grasp different situations where police officers are called into situations that are clearly not safe for them.

Are they obligated to respond? You tell me. So far you are saying no. So the next time a multi-player shooting takes place, you tell me how many officers would still have their jobs if everyone refused to respond.

The officers here are trying to get the guy off the building. In a shooting situation they are also trying to get things under control safely.

I don’t think anyone else did, and I sure didn’t demand officers put their lives in harms way to get this guy off the building. I do think they have an obligation to try to get him off there safely.

You evidently don’t. After all, their lives are the only ones that are protected.

LOL

Now there’s devotion to duty...
