"To serve and protect" is a line of utter bullshit. THere is no law that says they have to do jack shat in a hat.
The U.S. Supreme Court has already ruled that a cop has no obligation or duty to act, even if he knows there is a crime in progress.
Warren vs. District of Columbia
Yeah, they were raped and the cops were like "fuck off, donut break."
To be fair... there are so many officers out there, who will lay down their lives in harms way, in service to our community. There is no denying that fact. This piece is not meant to denigrate their sacrifice and hard work every day, in any way.
And then there are the cowards who should have never put on the uniform.
The sad fact of the matter is, no matter how many gun laws you make, no matter how may booths you have to walk through, the police cannot protect you.
Shoot, they might not even want to. They get a medal tho.
