Appeals court allows lawsuits against resource officer to continue

[daveman]

Blah, blah, blah. I've already addressed that. It's not going to stop your ignorance obviously though.

Oh, that's right. Everyone who disagrees with you is ignorant.

I'm sure that's just coincidence.

I never argued that. I've shown where armed people didn't stop shootings and want we need to do is address things before there is a shooting.

Bad guys don't obey the law.

 

[whitehall]

Makes sense doesn't it?

 

[pknopp]

Oh, that's right. Everyone who disagrees with you is ignorant.

No, only those who accuse me of something I've already said I didn't support, but whatever.

Bad guys don't obey the law.

That's right. Nor do they care if they die 9th.

So what's your plan?

 

[ColonelAngus]

If you are a pussy, do not be a police officer. You are likely to encounter bad guys with guns. The math is not complex.

 

[pknopp]

I said the conversation needs to start with those we understand have issues. I have no idea what all we can do but we need to have that conversation.

We also need to do a much better job getting people mental health help.

 

[jc456]

I'm not sure how I feel overall but if it ends up taking a chunk out of immunity laws, I say let it proceed.

I love how you demofks think law officers are just supposed to accept residence bullshit like they know all about their lives! Fk off

And if you sign up to protect children, you protect children no matter the cost.

Ahhh. A conversation.

Okay, we need an armed presence at each and every school.

 

[ColonelAngus]

And if you sign up to protect children, you protect children no matter the cost.

Definitely defenseless children. Maybe you pause to run into the middle of a gangland shootout alone. You have a fucking gun. The elementary school children do not.

That all being said. I am not sure that a judgement of millions of dollars will accomplish anything to bring back the 17 people who died. The judgement will be a formality. The guy will not have the money.

A big takeaway from the story is DO NOT BE NAMED SCOT(T) PETERSON…

 

[pknopp]

I love how you demofks

You are the demofk. Always on here pimping for Biden and Harris.

Most schools already have that. Some run away.

First off, I think this is a load of BS. Getting sued for being a coward? Seriously?

MSN

They argue that a police officer has a mandatory obligation to respond to such a threat.
This is absolutely false. They do NOT have to help people. The Supremes ruled on this years ago.

Justices Rule Police Do Not Have a Constitutional Duty to Protect Someone (Published 2005)

Supreme Court rules that police do not have constitutional duty to protect person from harm, even woman who obtained court-issued protective order against violent husband which made arrest mandatory for violation; decision overturns ruling by federal appeals court in Colorado; it had permitted...

I understand the parents grief but my gawd, now you just look like money hungry jerks.
Maybe yall can get sued for a character flaw as well?

I'm curious about this case but am unable to see it without subscribing.

SCOTUS ruled decades ago that the police have no legal obligation to protect any specific member of society, even if that person has a protection order against the offender.

U.S. Supreme Court case Town of Castle Rock v. Gonzales, decided in 2005. In this case, Jessica Gonzales sued the town of Castle Rock, Colorado, alleging that the police department's failure to enforce a restraining order against her estranged husband led to the tragic deaths of her three children.​

​

Case Background:​

​

• Restraining Order: Jessica Gonzales obtained a restraining order against her estranged husband, Simon Gonzales, which included provisions limiting his access to their three daughters.
• Violation and Police Inaction: In June 1999, Simon Gonzales abducted the children, violating the restraining order. Despite Jessica's repeated pleas, the Castle Rock police did not take immediate action to enforce the order. Tragically, Simon later killed the three children.
• Legal Action: Jessica Gonzales filed a lawsuit under 42 U.S.C. § 1983, claiming that the police department's failure to enforce the restraining order violated her Fourteenth Amendment due process rights.

Supreme Court Decision:​

​

The Supreme Court, in a 7-2 decision, held that Gonzales did not have a constitutionally protected property interest in the enforcement of the restraining order. The Court reasoned that Colorado law did not mandate police enforcement of restraining orders in a way that would create such an entitlement. Therefore, the police department's inaction did not constitute a violation of the Due Process Clause.​

Implications:​

​

This ruling underscored the principle that individuals do not have a constitutional right to police protection, even in situations involving restraining orders. The decision has been widely discussed and critiqued, particularly concerning its implications for victims of domestic violence and the enforcement of protective orders.​

Yeah cuck, yeah. Desperate are you now?

Chicken shit is what you demonstrated

Very rarely do any run away I can think of only the Parkland shooting. In fact, school shootings are pretty rare.

Police protection is an oxymoron.

Yes, quite rare and I believe we could have dealt with many of the problems before there was one.

Police can’t protect unless they know about risk. They really don’t do mind reading at all.

 

[daveman]

Everybody knew about the Parkland shooter before the shooting happened. Law enforcement and mental health professionals failed.

The answer is not more law enforcement and mental health professionals.

Cops ran away but you seem to think the answer is more guns.
