“Everyone should remember that the police have no duty to protect them.”

So what is the duty of a cop? And why don’t states and localities make protection the most important duty by passing such a law.

The fact that the constitution doesn’t have such a clause, doesn’t mean localities can’t enact it. It leaves it up to the states and municipalities to implement it (or not).

In the military “dereliction of duty” is a “crime”. The police force is a paramilitary organization. It too should be subject to such a discipline.

I agree.

Once cops no longer had a duty to protect, per the supreme court, they became superfulous and should have been dismantled.
