Nobody’s allowed a gun, knives, nothing. Somebody has to bare responsibility.
That was his own attorney?
He’s a Coward scumbag but:
Warren v. District of Columbia, 444 A.2d 1 (D.C. Ct. of Ap., 1981) Court stated “fundamental principle of American law is that a government and its agents are under no general duty to provide public services, such as police protection, to any individual citizen.”

How awful for the family to have to go to this extent and to have to see that chickensh!t scumbag enjoying his retirement while their daughter is dead.
Sometimes even a gun and a badge cant hide the fact that youre a pussy.
A judge with common sense, I’m sure the Broward County and other Florida Dims will demand his resignation.
He took an oath to protect and serve. It didn’t include the option of passing on the protection part at his whim.
It has been ruled MANY times that the police have NO DUTY/ Obligation/ Liability or Responsibility to protect people.
And this needs to be brought up every single time in gun control debates.
The Police are NOT there to protect You.
If the defense argument stands, then it puts the lie to protect and serve, and instead lets us know the true role of police,.. which is to enforce, intimidate, and oppress.
There are police who would take a bullet to save lives. This POS is the most cowardly man that I have ever heard of.
Exactly. That's part of the job description for going into LE.
And go home at night even if your citizens never will again.
Hi.
How does Peterson look into the mirror to shave?
5.56mm
To me that case means the cops don’t have a general duty to protect everybody, everywhere, all the time. You can’t sue the cops because they weren’t where you needed them. However, he was right outside with a gun and didn’t do anything. That’s very different.
Two things quickly come to mind,
1) perhaps rather than to an individual citizen the def owed a reasonable duty to the student body at large, and
2) the def owed a duty to his employer who recognized the duty it owed to the student body, employees, visitors, etc.
Otherwise, as others have pointed out upthread, why waste taxpayer monies by dressing someone up as a LEO and posting him on the grounds?
In this day and age, if the government refused to assign LEO's the parents would likely take steps to fill the void - but they paid their money and expected the government to do so.
P.S. Standing ovation for the judge.
I was going to say something about Scotts with one T but then I remembered the Scott Peterson from California..https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scott_Peterson.
Sadly, the cowardly cop has pretty much full immunity in this case. That won't stop the system from running him over with the process, but ultimately, they aren't going to win. In this particular incident, I'm not going to complain about abuse of process.
