This is a pretty basic exercise for criminal justice students. Please find *any* law that supports your statement of police being obligated to “protect and serve”… while your at it, try to produce a picture of a Seattle or king county police cruiser that says the phrase.
The sad truth is the phrase is associated with police, because it was featured in many TV shows. The sadder part is that people actually believe it.
This country was founded on the concept of individual freedoms (bill of rights) and that extends to freedoms of others from unjust prosecution (Amendment 4), to your own freedom to defend your person, and property (Amendment 2). It’s very depressing to me when people approach this with statements like “this is new to me” and “one of those conspiracy theory’s” frankly you sound uneducated about the reality of our criminal justice system, as do most people when they imply that the law has the ability to pre-emptively imprison someone for the “potential” for breaking a law.
