Police are under no legal obligation to serve or protect. The only function the police is top reserve order and investigate crime. They have no obligation to do either of those things well. There is no legal recourse if they fail to preserve order or to solve crime.
In many cities the police are basically an ornamental patronage dump. We saw their true colors during the summer of BLM riots.

@basilfawlty89 I’m for individual control. My community has no right to limit my protection of my person or property. So long as I don’t violate the rights of others, I see no reason for those others to be involved.

@redredred perhaps not, but unless you live in a shack in the middle of nowhere, you need a community. As long as you're harming no one, no one would say you can't have self defense. However, most people live in urban and suburban areas. A threat to the community must be engaged with as a community.

@basilfawlty89 then let those people deal with their issues as they will. FYI, I live in a very nice custom built home on six acres of meadow in a very small rural town with no police. My nearest neighbor is a quarter mile away.

This article is more about the Blue Wall, another issue that needs t be dealt with. Nevertheless, Qualified Immunity is something that does not belong in a democracy by the people and for the people.

I was watching "Blue Bloods" and how they discussed the issue with taking a cop at his word, then finding out about all the terrible things cops have done in the past.
Which shows that we really have to watch who we have watching us and making sure that they are keeping their word because we really do need the cameras to prove it.
Obviously there's way more good cops. Than bad, but we only hear of the bad, rarely the good. Like that one officer who pulled her Sargent off a suspect and was choked for it.
Some really understand their jobs. Some abuse it.

The only problem would be the reluctance to do anything at all at anytime, as you might personally be on the hook for a civil law lawsuit..
cops would quit in mass I reckon
