@Radical_EgoCom Can they just not shoot us?
I've had a cop point a gun at me. I just ordered cabinets from a store on a busy street. It was 4:30. I had to nurse my baby in my car. A cop thought I was robbing the place. Thought I was reaching for a gun when I adjusted my seat. I've thought about it many times. My hair was short, dark, and curly-frizzy. I think I looked black from behind. It would track for my area. I was so shocked I ended up screaming at him that he was gonna shoot my baby.

    Justices Rule Police Do Not Have a Constitutional Duty to Protect Someone (Published 2005)
    
    from By Linda Greenhouse
    
    Supreme Court rules that police do not have constitutional duty to protect person from harm, even woman who obtained court-issued protective order against violent husband which made arrest mandatory for violation; decision overturns ruling by federal appeals court in Colorado; it had permitted lawsuit to proceed against town of Castle Rock, whose police failed to respond to woman's pleas for help after her estranged husband violated protective order by kidnapping their three children, whom he eventually killed; in another ruling, Supreme Court rebukes US Court of Appeals in Cincinnati for reopening death penalty appeal, on basis of newly discovered evidence, after Supreme Court had ruled on matter; 5-to-4 decision involves convicted murderer Gregory Thompson (M)
