yeah that sounds accurate
i told one of the office people
and she was like “yeah ill tell admin lmao”
… yeah that’s it
nothing actually happened, I think
both with the admins and with the guy
Warren v. District of Columbia [1] (444 A.2d. 1, D.C. Ct. of Ap. 1981) is a District of Columbia Court of Appeals case that held that the police do not owe a specific duty to provide police services to specific citizens based on the public duty doctrine.
Cops legally don’t have to protect you! Really makes you wonder what we give them billions of dollars for
omg this reminds me of my conversation with atlas about cops
There are a LOT more sketchy laws lmao
Qualified Immunity is one of them
what
my god
There are at least 2 SCOTUS cases that affirm this, and more in other federal districts. An elementary school teacher and babysitter are more legally obligated to protect a minor than a cop is. I think they’re even criminally liable if they don’t attempt to intervene when a child (in their care) is in danger unless a court finds it was too dangerous for them to do so.
wtf
i knew the police were useless except as a concept but
cmon
cmon
cmon
They don’t even have to enforce a restraining order : )
(Town of Castle Rock v. Gonzales)
congress: we created the police to protect the people, probably maybe
police: does not protect the people
supreme court: they don’t have to guys 
whats the legal rationale there
I hate bursting bubbles here. Yet the cops usually arrive in time to investigate a redrum, not stop one.
i think these two statements have zero correlation
Its to prevent the cops from being sued for some stuff
