minus-square@BoxerDevillinkEnglish17•9 months agoThe thing is, they have no duty to stop him before he kills someone.
minus-square@JimmyeatsausagelinkEnglish19•9 months agoIn the US, they don’t even have a duty to stop him after he kills someone. Police have no duty or requirement to protect civilians.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish10•9 months agoThey have no duty to stop him even as he is killing someone
minus-squarechaogomulinkfedilink12•9 months agoNo duty, even after he’s killed a few people, and working to kill more. Maybe we should re-label mass shooters to something like “climate protesters”. Those are words that always receive a massive police response.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish9•9 months agoThey don’t appear to have any duties at all.
