According to you and the Supreme Court, all a cop has to do to not do his or her job is to state that they feel doing so would put them in harm’s way.
‘Officer Smith, why didn’t you write that speeder a ticket?’ ‘Thought they might have had a gun, Sarge.’
‘Constable Williams, why haven’t you responded to that domestic violence report?’ ‘Gee, Sarge - tempers at that house are running high - I might get hurt.’
‘Officer Dusenberry, you’re on school crossing duty this week.’ ‘Can’t do it, Sarge. Have you SEEN the traffic on that road? I could get run over.’
Leaving aside the no-dashing-into-gun-battle scenario, what is there to prevent cops from doing any of the things they’ve sworn to do? All they’d have to do is play the ‘I’m afraid for my life’ card to be able to do nothing at all.
