The U.S. Supreme Court has also ruled that police have no specific obligation to protect. In its 1989 decision in DeShaney v. Winnebago County Department of Social Services, the justices ruled that a social services department had no duty to protect a young boy from his abusive father. In 2005’sCastle Rock v. Gonzales*, *a woman sued the police for failing to protect her from her husband after he violated a restraining order and abducted and killed their three children. Justices said the police had no such duty.
You are right, both of those cases were directly related to crimes caused by capitalist societies. Police were never intended to protect you, only to enforce laws and arrest those who break those laws, they aren’t hired bodyguards or private investigators.
Unlike the fantasy we live in now, where the police are not obligated to protect you?
