It is probably Department Policy that police officers should avoid enlisting third party assistance, only if the situation calls for needed help. Writing a law that ALLOWS citizins to refuse to help is a recipe for disaster.
California, you deserve the ridicule you get, the shitty situations you have, the massive emigration of your citizens and the horrible financial position you are in. Your leaders are the enemy and you keep electing them and wonder why nothing changes. The Browns, Pelosis and Newsomes are your undoing!
Wake up, don’t woke.
California is not worried about its residents leaving. One resident leaves and 10 Mexicans plus others take their place. All willing, ready, and able to vote Democrat all day on election day. In the meantime, the Democrat Party via the Government will keep them well supplied with drugs, alcohol, and sex. From taxes imposed on the working stiffs.
