So many people want cops to leisurely put apprehending violent fugitives on a to-do list for when it’s convenient, like tracking down overdue library books. Cops have duty to act, not the legal duty to retreat Paul Blart has.
Cops have duty to act, not the legal duty to retreat”
WRONG, The US Supreme Court ruled a long long time ago, that the Police “Have No Legal Duty to protect the citizenry or uphold or enforce ANY LAW” The ONLY “Legal Duty” they have is to the Political Entity that Employs Them. That means they only have a duty to do what their employer tells them to do. Got It.
Yep, and cops have a duty to try to survive contacts with today’s feral criminals, and make sure other officers and bystanders survive, also. Several posters on Free Republic sound like they are members of the New Black Panther party. Very twilight-zoney.
