But police officers, in fact, generally are not under any legal obligation to protect citizens who are not in their custody.
TBH...It would not be a good idea for parents to go in there, but IMHO, they cops should have gone in.

(26,343 posts)There will be subpoenaed surveillance videos and subpoenaed body worn cameras and subpoenaed 911 calls and subpoenaed radio traffic.
If these cops stood outside while shooting was going on they will be tarred and feathered.

Specific remarks at 1:17 in the video below. The officer speaking flies through the comment affirming this, but the acknowledgement is there.

The investigation had better be just as brutal as the calculated choice these officers made.

These details plus the mayor's behavior today leads me to suspect there's something seriously wrong with the city government there. It's a largely Latino community yet the cops I saw and the mayor aren't. I wonder if they're all on board with the "great replacement" nonsense and approved of this. Sadly, the federal DOJ and the FBI have been neutered.
