Because of the recent rash of violence and debate over gun control I believe it is imperative to share this:
Warren v. District of Columbia 1981 set a precedent (US Dist Court of Appeals same force & effect as the US Supreme Court) that the Police have no constitutional or federal obligation to protect private citizens from each other but with two exceptions. Their job is to investigate crimes and arrest criminals.
