That’s a good point. I don’t know if they have the ability to refuse to come if called, but they certainly are not required to arrest people (I don’t think, not for burping or misbehaving).
And if I were a taxpayer there I would very much like to know how much of my money was paid out in the “sealed” class suit settlement.
Of course they do. Can you imagine if they were legally required to roll on each and every call from some random idiot?
