Judge in Parkland shooting lawsuit rules police have no duty to protect students

[Erni]

Even earlier, 1978 Warren vs. DC.

"the duty to provide public services is owed to the public at large, and, absent a special relationship between the police and an individual, no specific legal duty exists".

I would not be surprised of cases even before that.

I think the judge is full on wrong. The cop had a special relationship, he was the SRO!

I think there is a bunch of people in Coward county that should suck start their service guns.

Anti police groups will love this.

Pro gun folks should, too. This further supports the argument in favor of private gun ownership, as it reinforces that nobody is responsible for their protection, except themselves.

So, again, it's our duty to protect ourselves.

...and yet, there are those trying to prevent us from doing that. That's messed up.

Not only b/c of the lack of obligation but 911 response times.

Police write after action reports, we need to be prepared to hold out for 10 minutes or more then risk some 'crat or defense attorney suing us on behalf of the perp afterward.
