The cops have no obligation to protect you. Even though most cops are brave and will put themselves in the line of fire for strangers I wouldn't bet my life on it.

What happens when we just stand aside and stop supporting? They fall on their ass and break their back, that's what.

There's lots of people who mistakenly think the cops have a duty to protect people, when no such duty exists. I've heard this misconception quoted as a "reason" for why people should not be allowed to own guns, or use them in self defense, and I always bring up the various Supreme Court cases on the topic as a counter point, at which point I am met with sullen silence and disbelief.

Actually, the Constitution provides that I don't need any justification or "reason" at all... Sorry, but only the sheep need the sheep dog!

IIRC, “To serve and protect” was started by the LAPD back in the 50s.
