Yet again, we have a case where the American public is told that cops don’t have to protect you. The school resource officer from the Uvalde school shooting was just found not guilty of all charges for standing outside of the school and hiding while the shooter massacred the students that the cop had a duty to protect.
It turns out, the cops don’t have a duty to do a damned thing except collect a pension. This echoes the case where the coward of Broward, Scot Peterson, was allowed to retire with his pension intact, even though he hid during the Parkland School Massacre and as the School’s Resource Officer, it was his job to protect the school’s students.
If police don’t have a duty to do anything, then why do we even have SROs in school in the first place? In shooting after shooting, we know that the police are cowardly pussies who will take cover while our children are slaughtered. That’s how we know that they aren’t about to go door to door to take shit.
Pull the cops out of the schools and cut police and school budgets by an appropriate amount. School resource officers are a horrendous waste of money.

I’ve always laughed to myself when the communists talk about going door to door to take our guns. That would last, maybe, until the first cop died. In the late 60s, we had to talk a guy off the bridge because he thought a game warden was going to try to take his rifle. Lucky for that warden we talked fast, because our buddy was ready to start the war right then, right there.

There is significant case law behind this. Two primary examples: DC Vs. Warren. And Castle Rock vs. Gonzales. The police repeatedly dropped the ball and failed to act when crimes were being committed and the courts(these were Supreme Court rulings) ruled that you have no ‘right’ to police protection.
You are on your own. Any law that prevents you from protecting yourself while denying you protection by the state is abhorrent and violates your right to protection. Yet, here we are.

Those are for civil lawsuits. In this case, it proves the cop can’t even be criminally responsible for doing his job.

It would appear that they (local LEO) don’t have enough people to do any door-to-door missions. If they to set an example, it would most likely fail.
BTW totally agree on the school cops – complete waste. A travesty.

I worked in that business for 30 years, sworn for 15 years, then a back injury led to non sworn jobs with several police agencies. The best and brightest work on the street (patrol duties) then promote up to higher ranks. It is pretty well known that the school resource officers are not the high achievers in an organization. Not to say they are bad, maybe they get along well with kids, right aptitude etc. That said, no cop should ever shirk his/her duties. We run towards the gunfire not away from it.
