I really do. I can't the anguish of losing a child to senseless gun violence.
But the SCOTUS ruled over 30 years ago that the police have no legal responsibly to protect the public.
"Police have no legal duty to respond and prevent crime or protect the victim. There have BEEN OVER 10 various supreme and state court cases the individual has never won. Notably, the Supreme Court STATED about the responsibility of police for the security of your family and loved ones is "You, and only you, are responsible for your security and the security of your family and loved ones. That was the essence of a U.S. Supreme Court decision in the early 1980's when they ruled that the police do not have a duty to protect you as an individual, but to protect society as a whole."
The officer detained 'may' be guilty of perjury, but the other charges will be dismissed.
I 1000% agree that he had a moral obligation, but that is not an issue for the courts.
If he violated department policy, if he didn't meet the standards of the department - those are internal department issues --- and he was forced to retire.
Again, my heart goes out to those grieving parents ...
