    That’s because cops aren’t here to protect you, sweetie. They’re here to protect property, now go to bed.

      Castle Rock v. Gonzales for anyone curious about the SCOTUS opinion that says cops only have a duty to protect property.

      And for those interested in is police really have to protect and serve, look up “Police duty to protect” online and feel free to start on the wiki. It’s astonishing how little police actually have to do. As someone trying to become a cop, this is one of my biggest issues with the field outside of blatant racism.
