Your citing a case that is applicable in only the DOC, so it literally is not worth the paper is printed on anywhere else in the country. While the general concept remains true in many jurisdictions that police do not have to respond to every single call, regardless of circumstances, police cannot be derelict of duty.


*You're in need of some serious reading up on this case and how the US Supreme Court works in general if you really think this.

The can't simply say frick that guy, I'm don't feel like helping anyone today. There are extenuating circumstances in many if not all cases where a court came to this conclusion, such as police do not have to respond to calls during an ice storm because it is impracticable and only puts more people in danger.


What part of "LEO's have no duty to protect INDIVIDUALS not in within their custody" do you have trouble grasping here? It's a pretty simple concept really.

The quote he originally cited was from a DOC appeals court, not SCOTUS. I'm well aware of how SCOTUS works. As far as the SCOTUS case, I was not aware that they had ruled on this issue, so for that I apologize and I was wrong. Before that case there were splits on the rule, hence why SCOTUS overturned the ruling of the lower court in the case cited by Bass.
