In Warren v. District of Columbia [1] (444 A.2d. 1, D.C. Ct. of Ap. 1981), the federal court stated that a LEO has no duty to protect a citizen. In most cases of crime today, police officers show up to document what has already happened, not to prevent or stop crime. In a growing number of cases, however, unlawful police harassment has been documented. The liberal progressive agenda is to disarm all law abiding citizens. It doesn't matter that FBI files indicate more people were murdered in the US from hands, elbows, knees and feet than died from gunfire. It isn't always about guns, either. Several years ago in the city of Largo, Florida the city police department was accused of soliciting young women during a pull-over. Ladies on their way to work or on an errand were regularly pulled over and approached by the officer for sex. At nearly the same time, in that same department, the FBI arrested several cops who were receiving money for trafficking in stolen gasoline transported across state lines. Even the repurchase of guns by police is a bad idea. In most communities there are programs sponsored by the police to purchase firearms with no questions asked. TV news shows law abiding citizens standing in line with their rusty old guns. They smile for the camera and receive fifty dollars or so for their good citizenship. What is NOT shown is the opportunity for burglars and petty thieves, who've come into possession of stolen guns, to get free payment from the police. The police thus become a fence for stolen property. In a local community college, a certified police instructor was caught with child porn on the college's computer loaned to him for academic work. When the college attempted to terminate his employment, the sheriff responded by withdrawing all his people from training programs. The college had invested heavily in infrastructure to support the special needs of the police students (gun range, labs, vehicle training areas, etc.) In the end the police walked and the college had to eat both the loss of revenue and the money spent on campus 'improvements'. (A gun range is an improvement? The neighbors were happy, though. They didn't have to listen to police gunfire on the range any more.) In a perfect world, the police would stick to their mandate - to protect and to serve the community. Far too often, however, the only ones they protect and serve is the blue wall of fellow officers. and that's just me, hollering from the choir loft... No duty to protect? Well, if the squad car has painted on it, "To protect & to serve," couldn't someone at least be sued for false advertising? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
