THE Gun Thread

[BrianSoddingBoru4]

The fact that most cops WILL risk their lives even when not legally required to do so (biker has mentioned this) speaks well of those individuals. But the SCOTUS ruling is wrong-headed. It gives cops carte blanche to be derelict in their duty without repercussions. 

If you aren’t willing to risk your life for the public good, you probably shouldn’t have picked a career in law enforcement.

By your rules - our military should be able to order our soldiers to kamakazi into the enemy....

Or maybe they shouldn' t have picked the military as a career???

The point of the SCOTUS ruling is cops cannot be held ciivilly or criminally negligent for failure to save your butt..... It doesn't however guarantee them a job if they refuse and public sentiment or police policy goes against that.

If you apply the SCOTUS ruling to the military, a soldier could refuse to go into battle.

But you insist on missing my point - under the SCOTUS ruling, ANY cop could refuse to enforce ANY law by claiming it put him in harm’s way, whether it actually did or not. And it would virtually guarantee his job, because the Court has already ruled in his favour.
