1. Cops lie all the time and they have no duty to either protect or serve. FTP.

2. ALL have that duty. Problem is many ignore it. . . . nt

3. As humans, sure. As part of their jobs? They are not legally required.

4. You could be right on that point, which would vary from department to department. . . . nt

5. It does not vary. The Town of Castle Rock v. Gonzales strengthened a finding from Deshaney v. Winnebago County

Department of Social Services that the state does not have a duty to protect against harms it did not create. Cops do not have to protect you.

6. Thanks for that background. I vaguely remember hearing about something like that. . . . . nt

7. Yes indeed they put protect and serve on their

squad cars and then fight legal battles to make it foundational that they have no duty to protect and serve.
