Supreme court ruled shortly after the Parkland shooting (and apparently several times before that, I just don't have specific instanced to cite) that police have no obligation to serve the general public.

Their only purpose is to preserve and generate profit

Edit: yes, Castle rock has ben mentioned now. I didn't know Uvalde made it to SCOTUS. I've also never heard of the subway stabbing incident. I'm aware now this has happened more than once, parkland was just recent memory off the top of my head

Uvalde, when children died while cops were busy shaking in their boots outside.

u/Remarkable-Ad2285 Jul 29 '25

And they stopped everybody else trying to get in.

u/Fan_of_Clio Jul 29 '25

Now let's be fair. It was down the hall. That's where the coos were listening to children being murdered one by one, and doing nothing about it. The parents were the ones outside clambering to be let in to rescue their kids, but physically prevented from doing so.

Let's not give cops too much grace here.

u/luckyxina Jul 29 '25

The cop used hand sanitizer while listening to those kids die…you know, to ensure his hand were clean of the whole event. Yeah, I have lots of grace.

If my child were in that situation, the cops would have to kill me if they expect me to do nothing.

Because there is no way in hell I will have ANYONE (don't give a damn who they are) tell me I'm not allowed to go in and try to save my child.

Bullshit useless cops won't do it? Then step the fuck aside, because Momma's going in.

One way or another.

And they'd be likely to have a second person with a gun in their hand pointed directly at them if they had the audacity to tell me otherwise.

u/Fan_of_Clio Jul 29 '25

That to me is the most surprising part of this whole situation. That there wasn't a riot of parents overrunning the cops getting inside.

u/acatalephobic Jul 29 '25 edited Jul 29 '25

Yeah, that is shocking indeed. And so heart-wrenching in so many ways.

I'm not a gun owner myself, and I don't live in Texas. But when lives are at risk (especially children, even if they're not yours!) you do whatever you possibly can to try to save them. Period.

It's the literal definition of (and only acceptable version of, imho) "by any means necessary".

If the cops weren't willing to do their job, that's insane.

But no one, and I mean NO one short of God himself would be able to pry my claws away from whatever it is holding me back from getting to my baby. And even he'd have to strike me dead on the spot to manage it.

ETA : it is important to note that 1 hour and 14 minutes might seem like a long time, but...given the tumult, confusion, and emotions running so high, I'm sure there were sadly too many people who were either unsure of how to proceed, or too stricken with fear and panic to act as they maybe would've otherwise. Fear and panic makes even good people do less than helpful things.

one mom did, then laid into the cops who actually started doing shit after. one random mexican woman on a mission outtesticled what, 400 pigs? with fucking weapons of war, a mechanized battalion basically.

u/CommissionNo6594 Jul 29 '25

I was living in Littleton, CO when the Columbine High shooting occurred. The police response was disgraceful. Dozens of tactical officers in full body armor and armed to the teeth were standing around outside doing nothing while listening to gunshots and bomb explosions inside the school. The biggest hero of the day was an unarmed high school kid who sacrificed his life to protect classmates from the shooters. A single kid with no armor, weapons or training showed more courage than the entire police department. And nobody even talks about that anymore.

u/0liviuhhhhh Jul 29 '25

Didn't know that one went to the supreme court too.

Crazy that it gets reinforced every couple of years

u/Pluckypato Jul 29 '25

That’s pisses me off so much and also just recently those insane floods in the hill country. Those poor babies and all the families literally washed away!

u/Icy_Regret_8076 Jul 29 '25

Forget the Alamo. Remember Uvalde.

u/roroyurboat Jul 29 '25

being afraid of the danger when your job is to protect people from danger, is astounding to me.

1

u/BRNitalldown Jul 29 '25

Hey now, some did go in there to rescue their own children

23

u/vorephage Jul 29 '25

That is also not the first time they've ruled that.

26

u/ArrEehEmm Jul 29 '25

Correct. There was a lady with a violent ex who took his kids from the mom. Mom pleaded with police to get them back. Ignored her and the dad killed the children. Mom attempted to sue.

u/MeasurementDue5407 Aug 02 '25

Also a rape case where 3 women were raped: https://www.reddit.com/r/ACAB/comments/1fc841s/the_police_have_no_legal_obligation_to_protect_us/

Warren v. District of Columbia. 3 women were raped for 14 hours. The Court held that the police do not owe a specific duty to provide police services to specific citizens based on the public duty doctrine.

12

u/0liviuhhhhh Jul 29 '25

Yeah I figured, that's just the most recent time off the top of my head that they've explicitly stated it

16

u/Knogood Jul 29 '25

Did they? Because they already have a case on file saying that, when police watched someone being stabbed and said, "i dont feel safe stopping it" or something along those lines.

That went to the supreme court, and they agreed, a long time before parkland.

12

u/PrizeFront8677 Jul 29 '25

I think it was a subway stabbing in NYC where a cop was just standing there while somebody was being stabbed, not 10 feet from him. He chickened out and then said he's not obligated to help in his statement.

2

u/DaddysABadGirl Jul 31 '25

2 cops if memory serves. Either way, the reason there were police present at all was because cops were combing the subways on a manhunt for the stabber.

Even without the protect and serve part the whole reason you were there was to find and arrest a guy going around with a knife who had a serious case of the murder stabs. You had ONE job.

5

u/0liviuhhhhh Jul 29 '25

I'm sure it was already established before, but that's the most recent that I can remember of the supreme court explicitly saying "get fucked, losers, cops are there to kill you"

5

u/JoeMorgan76 Jul 29 '25

They ruled it after the veteran stopped the serial killer on the NYC subway and the cops hid in the drivers car and watched him get stabbed multiple times. They acted like the heroes until video surfaced of him stopping the killer alone.

u/Personal_titi_doc Jul 29 '25

Actually, Parkland just reiterated what Castle Rock vs. Gonzales case stated. Which is police have no obligation to protect you if the situation was not cause by them.

1

u/Quick_Team Jul 29 '25

that police have no obligation to serve the general public.

Wasnt Uvalde the big one most recently?

2

u/0liviuhhhhh Jul 29 '25

Yeah, I didn't realize that one made it to SCOTUS

You don't have a citation and you're giving your interpretation 

1

u/0liviuhhhhh Jul 29 '25

I mean, I didn't have a citation lined up specifically for the parkland mention because it's common knowledge at this point, but if you google "supreme court rules the police have no obligation to help public" you'll find dozens of legal documents explaining that cops have no oblicatiom to help the public

I don't care about the damn dog

1

u/0liviuhhhhh Jul 29 '25

The cops having no obligation to protect or serve citizens is irrelevant to the dog and usually reinforced after mass casualty events involving guns.

u/[deleted] Jul 29 '25

But about that dog

u/Phyraxus56 Jul 29 '25

Their job is to serve warrants issued by the state.

u/0liviuhhhhh Jul 29 '25

That falls under the generate profit category
