If we don't have a duty to protect individuals then why have I been doing this job for 15 years?? I will agree that in 99% of cases we are not right there when an individual faces an immediate threat and I am a huge advocate of people having the right and ability to protect themselves. However, if we do happen to be right there when the threat occurs or are able to get there while there is still a threat then we Damn sure have a duty to do everything we can possibly do to stop the threat! I work 3rd shift. Most nights I have one other officer on shift with me, one night a week we have 3 on shift including me. We cover 425 square miles so a 30 minute response time, while not common, is not out of the realm of possibility. But rest assured, I WILL get there as fast as I can, and I WILL do everything I can do up to and including risk my own life to protect an individual from a threat. Waiting for backup isn't an option for me because most of the time there isn't any to wait for. Oh, and I don't eat doughnuts so I won't be hanging out at a dunkin doughnuts on the other side of town!
