Reviewing: Government and its agents (law enforcement) have no legal duty to protect (Public Duty Doctrine); they cannot be held legally liable for failing to protect (sovereign immunity), because there was no legal duty to protect in the first place.
Now, do you think this -- the most fundamental relationship between government and its citizens -- is taught in schools, either specifically or generally? No, it is not taught in schools. Go anywhere in this country, where there is a teaching university, and review state-approved textbooks used in our public school systems, and you will find zip, nada, nothing.
What about colleges? Universities? The same.
However, it is taught to 300-level criminal justice students, generally those going into law enforcement. And who are law enforcement? Consider this:
Homeland Security, Secret Service, FBI, Department of Justice, U.S. Marshall's Service, U.S. Customs and Border, DEA, Diplomatic Security Service, ATF, military police, State Bureau of Investigations, State Highway Patrols, sheriffs/deputies, corrections, probation, police, fish & game, transit police, campus police, airport police, port authority, and welfare fraud invesigators hired by DSS in California, just to name a few.
Get the picture? The Public Duty Doctrine is the best-kept secret in America, from law-enforcement's point of view. And what are the implications of this? The general public stays calm (a false sense of security, ignorant) and submissive (manageable). And the consequences can be devastating (specifics will be provided in a upcoming post).
