re: Police are under no obligation to protect you from harm

some people believe that if a Trump supporter was about get hit by a criminal swinging a bat, it is a legal requirement of the police to physically step in front of the bat and keep the citizen from being injured (simple example). That isn't how it works from my understanding.

you mean if law enforcement witnessed an incident where a citizen was about to be assaulted and law enforcement was in a position to prevent the assault, that they are not obligated to do so?

this is wrong

only in the event that it might mean certain death, or maiming for the law enforcement officer would they not be obligated
