“Plaintiff’s claims share a common question: whether there is constitutional duty under the Fourteenth Amendment for the police to intervene to protect a citizen from criminal conduct by third parties,” Judge Norman K. Moon’s opinion says. “Because I find this duty is not ‘clearly established,’ his claims are barred by qualified immunity.” [More]Who knew?
And that being the case, who but an idiot or an enemy would prevent a fellow human being from having the means to protect himself?

This is a major opinion.
Even so, the whiners out for social justice say they will appeal.
Good luck with that.
I appreciate this contemporaneous confirmation that neither coppers nor any other govt. actor have any duty to defend and protect any particular citizen.
