It's a "promise" when cops swear to protect and serve, NOT a legal duty. Case in point- Warren v. District of Columbia, 444 a.2d 1(D.C. Ct. of Ap., 1981) "Fundamental principle of American law is that a government and it's agents are under no general duty to provide public services, such as police protection, to any individual citizen."
Sooo.. what is the legal standing for providing "police protection" to those parents???? Why provide "police protection" to the parents outside and not the kids? Police have no legal duty to protect us AND they have qualified immunity?
