Partially related to the rage thread topic, but I'll post it here instead...

http://www.copblock.org/27067/police-have-no-duty-to-protect-you/

Yeah, I think this is a better topic to discuss than the rage thread one. More chill.

I guess, well, I'm not sure how to feel about this. Sure, they may not be obligated but I do think that almost all police would respond, regardless of their lack of obligation. Maybe it is something to be changed, but it is a reason to CC at least.

Living in a nation where the police are signifigantly more effective, less inept, less corrupt and generally far more human than the examples from round the world I see on here makes me very greatful, and also alarmed that such things seem so "normal" in many states.

Do you live in the UK?

And I don't think that's normal for those states. It is pretty abhorrent that this stuff happens, and I don't think that the public stands for it. I myself living in Australia is great. My mum being a police officer has given me a huge insight on what police culture is actually like, and the police here are great, for the most part.

Our police don't even carry guns. They are bro-tier. And they have giants.

Do your police have broants?

No, we have badass horses.
And isn't it a little bit silly not to carry a gun?

It is if your polices primary goal is shooting people.

Which it shouldn't be. People start shooting when they feel threatened. If the police doesn't have guns, they don't start shooting.

The beauty of it is that due to gun control/policing in the UK (other than special units), they don't need them.

Heard of that before. That's pretty damn awesome.

You have heard about the police in the UK massaging the statistics attempting to make it seem like the crime rate has gone down, right?

But kingfisher, you have no idea what kind of terrible things those police officers have to experience every day.

You can't possibly blame them for anything.

Lol, take my stuff out of context.

You are aware that 3rd parties have also seen lowering trends of crime today, and that half of violent crime in the UK does not end with any injury at all? 1 2

Meanwhile in Australia. Does anyone know where you can find the speech from the Vietnamese Buddhist monk about how people change when you put guns in their hands?

[Vector]

Yeah, and I'll remind everyone that laws against domestic violence are still not being enforced in Topeka, Kansas.
