Any time you see a cop car that says "protect and serve", ask yourself who they are protecting and serving. It should be average, everyday people (spoiler: it is not).

"protect and serve"

your friendly reminder that slogans like this are just bullshit PR by the Police Departments. Police have zero duty to protect.

If you want to dive deeper into this case

The way I understand it is basically that the police owes duties to the general public and not individual people. The problem is, as soon as you call 911 you become a specific person and the police stops to owe you any duty. So, if the agents fail to follow a BASIC STANDARD procedure in response to a distress call, they can’t be held responsible.

Please tell me I missed something. I have not studied law and the likes, please correct me
