To Protect and to Serve

[Gdjjr]

The question is whom are they protecting and whom do they serve?

Police destroyed an innocent man's home during an arrest. But he's owed nothing, court rules

While noting that this view may seem “unfair,” the court found that when police have to protect the public, they cannot be “burdened with the condition” that the state compensate those damaged by their actions.

The SC ruled that isn't their job.

Always wondered what the outcome of something like this was. While the county can take the law as it stands, what about their moral obligation?

Par for the course.

???..so they should post police there--for ----weeks? that's idiocy ...it's idiocy of course
..and those police would not be available for their standard job of responding to other crimes/etc
..please think realistically and not in TV terms
..this jackass was shooting at the cops..you will need more than 2 cops 24/7 to watch the place..they don't have the manpower as it is for normal duty

Their standard job is punishing the many for the actions of the few so the other few, (their bosses the law writers) can feel good about themselves by showing we the stinky tourist are to be subservient to the authoritarian class- that they sometimes get the right guy is luck and citizen tips- and I think your hyperbole about how long they would have to wait is a little, well, hyperbolic- cut the power, turn off the water and he'll be out shortly- shortly being less than weeks.

It's not the city's fault that the criminal chose a house to hole up in. The criminal is really the one who should be responsible for damages.

Having said that, it's sad the city doesn't help this guy out with some compensation.​

It was a minor shop-lifting charge- yes the "criminal" did hole up there, but I'm guessing the cops didn't care because they don't have to- it is that simple. I bet had it been a house belonging to one of them it would have worked out differently.

That's a myth the supreme Court ruled that the police are not legally obligated to protect anyone

The police fanatically protect and serve themselves.

and I'd like to point out that, according to conservatives, MOST policemen are CONSERVATIVES.

Police Have No Duty to Protect You, Federal Court Affirms Yet Again

Justices Rule Police Do Not Have a Constitutional Duty to Protect Someone

In a 4–3 decision, the District of Columbia Court of Appeals affirmed the trial courts' dismissal of the complaints against the District of Columbia and individual members of the Metropolitan Police Department based on the public duty doctrine ruling that "the duty to provide public services is owed to the public at large, and, absent a special relationship between the police and an individual, no specific legal duty exists". The Court thus adopted the trial court's determination that no special relationship existed between the police and appellants, and therefore no specific legal duty existed between the police and the appellants.

They could have taken Koresch in town- it's not like he never left the compound- that said, they punished the many for the actions of the few-

Traffic citations when no one is harmed is a punishment meant to generate revenue- people still break traffic laws so the citations prevent nothing, they just punish the few- there are so many federal laws on the books they can't be counted and it's estimated everyone breaks at least 3 a day- I doubt that's what the founders had in mind.
Driving w/o a license gets punished with a Fine- why? Driving w/o ins gets a Fine? Why? Being a Barber w/o a license gets a Fine. Why?
Empty suits in DC don't obey the rules (allegedly the Supreme Law of the land) so why should citizens be any different?
But, empty suits don't pay fines and they don't get held accountable- sometimes, though not often enough, the thugs with a badge do-
Murder is against the law and people still get murdered- theft is against the law and people still rob (especially empty suits in DC)

Laws are meant to punish. LEO's are not judges or juries bit they act as executioners, due process be damned.

Did you follow the couple in Houston who got murdered by cops earlier this year?

Timeline: A Botched Houston Police Raid And Its Consequences
Here’s an overview of the developments in the story that started with two alleged drug dealers dead and five officers injured.

Another acct- Wapo and the Houston Chronicle have the story too but I have to pay to read those- ain't happening

Houston Police Shot Man Killed in Fraudulent Drug Raid at Least Eight Times
Dennis Tuttle and his wife, Rhogena Nicholas, who was shot twice, were pronounced dead shortly after police invaded their home based on a "controlled buy" that never happened.

A follow up

Gerald Goines justified the raid, which killed a middle-aged couple, based on a heroin purchase that apparently never happened.


And that's just one of many that happen around the Country almost daily
