It is not the duty of any LEO to protect ANYBODY, so says the Supreme Court of the US.

Law enforcement means well, and will do what they can, but one's security and safety rests solely on their own shoulders. If someone is in an unsafe situation, they need to rectify that situation and get to a place where they are safe. The government can't and won't guarantee an individual's safety.

Plane, train and bus tickets are cheap insurance if someone is truly in fear for their life. Mr Smith, Mr Wesson, and Mr Colt will also help if one is inclined to ask for their help.
