Nope - arbitrarily refusing to respond to a call would (likely) trigger liability.
Did you read the case? Obviously not.
Sure thing. Done a lot of 1983 work have you, Perry Mason?

Who said they were?
Graduated in the top 5% of my law school class and worked at a couple top international law firms. I may know a thing or two.
There are consequences - but the Gonzales case simply says you don’t have an individual cause of action inder Section 1983, so no consequences there.
Super. I’m, like, super-impressed. But my question was more specific - practiced in 1983 claims, or no?
I’ve dealt with them fuck head. Do you even have a degree?
Stripping people of habeus corpus? Who suggested that? Let crazy people come to court everyday and have their craziness re-evaluated, for all I care.
Just in case you think I am actually in favor of jailing the crazy solely for their craziness, I am not. It would just be much more effective than any (additional or existing) ban on arms. I am not one worried about muh SAAAAAAAAAAAFETYYYYYYYYYY!! everytime some loon starts shooting.
Sounds like a no.
Sounds like a no from you. Another bottom 95%
So you have case law where police were successfully sued for failure to protect? Obviously not criminal misconduct, but failure to save someone? Because I can find rulings to the contrary all day long, and that’s without Westlaw access.
Hey, Top Five Percent, need an answer on this one.

No, seriously, who here has said that irrational that people would want to defend themselves?
It was a declarative statement. I was curious about where your line of argumentation was headed. Still curious but less so. Do you have a law degree? Any experience?
Did you read the case? How is it different than this example?
Nope, and didn’t say I did. Generally, if the police tried and failed, as long as they tried, you have no recourse. And that makes sense. That would be simply impossible in the real world . But that doesn’t mean there’s not consequences if they fail. Cops can get into trouble ranging from losing their jobs to getting punished under the law - there’s just not a basic avenue for an individual to seek civil redress from a cop.
In short, there’s a duty, and there are consequences from shirking that duty - they’re just not in the form of a civil lawsuit to a citizen.
Is there a point?
NM…
Run along, you’ve got doc review to do.
Funny google guy.
Whoa man. Slow your roll. This guy was top 5% of a top school somewhere at some point in time and he worked at places that are very impressive. GTFO
