I don't mean to be mean or pedantic, but the police are not paid to save victims, or even prevent crimes or enforce morals. They are paid to enforce the law, and nothing else.
Its why a major part as to why they suck so bad.
And even then, enforcing the law is what they do in their spare time if they feel like it. Even calling them Law Enforcement is a stretch.
In this case, stopping the shooter was enforcing the law, because the shooter was doing something highly illegal
But they will put the police out of business!
It is against the law to shoot people.
I mean if we're being 💯, then they're paid to enforce the law for wealthy capitalists. They don't give a shit if your house gets robbed.
Not really. SCOTUS has ruled that police don't have an obligation to enforce the law either.
Ah, sometimes I forget just how screwed this country is.
