Police have no responsibility to protect you


The courts have ruled time and time again that the police have absolutely no responsibility for your safety. In case you have forgotten, the Supreme Court gave us a reminder yesterday.

The Supreme Court ruled Monday that police cannot be sued for how they enforce restraining orders, ending a lawsuit by a Colorado woman who claimed police did not do enough to prevent her estranged husband from killing her three young daughters.

Jessica Gonzales did not have a constitutional right to police enforcement of the court order against her husband, the court said in a 7-2 opinion.

City governments had feared that if the court ruled the other way, it would unleash a potentially devastating flood of cases that could bankrupt municipal governments.

Keep this in mind the next time some gun grabber tells you to just call 9-1-1 instead of trying to defend yourself.
