Absolutely not. From Wikipedia:
“Warren v. District of Columbia[1] (444 A.2d. 1, D.C. Ct. of Ap. 1981) is a District of Columbia Court of Appeals case that held that the police do not owe a specific duty to provide police services to specific citizens based on the public duty doctrine.”

The purpose of police is to maintain order for the state so it can collect taxes.

No problem.
Just so we’re clear, the existence of bad guns does not make want to
- restrict new guns, nor
- reduce the number of existing guns, nor
- put anti-gun activists in charge of anything gun related.
Same goes with bad soldiers, bad farmers, bad computers and bad apples.

Understood. I am just a sucker for a list. Top Five This, Ten Worst That-that kind of thing.

This cop flat out lied in an attempt to bully them out of their IDs.

I like this guy Abiyeh Israel with “We the People University”
Tazed a handicapped man. Syracuse.
Before the Controlled Substances Act of 1970, passed by a Democrat controlled Congress, there were no Mexican drug cartels, no violent street gangs and the police were friends with everyone except violent criminals and thieves. Since it was passed, we’ve seen nothing but growth for the cartels, gangs, violent crime and an increasingly adversarial relationship with the police.
This isn’t new math. 2 + 2 does equal 4.

Before the Controlled Substances Act of 1970 there were no video games.
One does not imply the other.
This has to be the silliest thing I have ever read. Unless this was sarcastic.
The mafia alone disproves this absolutely crazy post. What percentage of police were on their payroll?
Land of make belief.

The Controlled Substances Act wasn’t written to prohibit video games. What it was written to prohibit has flourished into a trillion dollar business for both the criminals and the drug enforcement industry. It may be that drug use would have increased in its absence, we can only speculate on that, but drug cartels and violent drug gangs would not even exist.

Here’s a change I’d be very hesitant to support.
Police in San Francisco will have the ability to deploy potentially lethal, remote-controlled robots in emergency situations after supervisors of the politically Democratic city granted permission Tuesday in a board vote.

Don’t worry, they’re only “potentially lethal” and will only be used in “emergency situations.” 
Maybe they can get a killer robot to guard Nancy Pelosi’s house?

They no doubt programmed it to demand ID.

Another situation escalated by the police. But rest assured, the cops will be spoken to by their Inspector. No worries.
