Dagny:
The courts, in several jurisdictions, have ruled essentially that the police owe no particular duty to the individual.
This is NOT their exact wording, but I believe that it carries the guts of their meaning. While the emblem on the cruiser might well say something about "to serve and protect", I for one would not bet on the police coming to my aid.
I believe that one could reasonably expect aid from the fire department, whereas they might get some sympathy from the police. By the way, I'm not intentionally knocking the police, but the sun rises in the east, and sets in the west.
One does not have to like that fact, but it remains, a fact.
