The three women sued the District of Columbia and the officers for negligently failing to provide police protection...

Warren v District of Columbia, 444 A.2d 1 (D.C. Ct. of Ap. 1981). Typical of cases enunciating the non-responsibility of the police for protecting individual citizens is Warren v District of Columbia in which three rape victims sued the city and its police department under the following facts:

Two of the victims were upstairs when they heard the other being attacked by men who had broken in downstairs. Half an hour having passed and their roommate's screams having ceased, they assumed the police must have arrived in response to their repeated phone calls.

In fact their calls had somehow been lost in the shuffle while the roommate was being beaten into silent acquiesence.

So when the roommates went downstairs to see to her, as the court's opinion graphically describes it, "For the next fourteen hours the women were held captive, raped, robbed, beaten, forced to commit sexual acts upon each other, and made to submit to the sexual demands" of their attackers.

Having set out these facts, the court promptly exonerated the District of Columbia and its police, as was clearly required by [the] fundamental principle of American law that a government and its agents are under no general duty to provide public services, such as police protection, to any individual citizen.

It goes back to an 1856 U.S Supreme Court ruling. Law enforcement is required only to protect society in general and to provide services to the community at large; it is under no legal obligation to protect any particular individual. This longstanding doctrine means that basically its up to the individual concerned to defend himself in a hostile situation.

A man looked out his back window one night and saw several men burglarizing his tool shed. He calls 911 for the cops.
Cops: Are they in your house, sir?
Man: No, they're in my tool shed.
Cops: I'm sorry, sir, we don't have the manpower right now. We'll send out men as soon as we can.

Man waits a few minutes then calls back 911.
Man: You don't have to send any officers - I shot all the burglars dead.

Within 5 minutes a swarm of cop cars and ambulances come screeching up, whereupon the burglars are caught and arrested.
Cop: I thought you said you shot them dead.
Man: I thought you said you couldn't come.

And yet.... the mainstream feminist is very anti-gun. Go figure. SAS is getting ready to formally announce our 2nd college chapter in MI. The neatest thing about it is she's a feminist and is using feminist ideals as a strategy to win over the left-ish variety. And, she's an incredibly neat woman, to boot!

The police have no legal obligation to protect citizens from crime.

When citizens come to understand this fact, they usually want to acquire the means to defend themselves. Even worse, the police are not even there to solve crimes after they are committed! … they are only there to “process the victims”for the FBI statistics: Name?… Address? … Phone Number? … Social Security Number? … Date of Birth? … Marital Status? … etc
