It goes back to an 1856 U.S Supreme Court ruling. Law enforcement is required only to protect society in general and to provide services to the community at large; it is under no legal obligation to protect any particular individual. This longstanding doctrine means that basically its up to the individual concerned to defend himself in a hostile situation.
