POLICE HAVE NO DUTY TO PROTECT YOU, FEDERAL COURT

This is not really news. It is also in part why they have Qualified Immunity, yup dirty little secret.

Now do they protect? Yes
Do they serve? Yes.

But do they have to protect you? No, this is why we need guards who’s job is to protect us and our kids. Also because 911 is 90 seconds or more away.

The stopping you is one of the actual only few cases where you can go after them. Sovereign Immunity can be waved at that point. Tricky and takes a good lawyer but can be and then you have to show they did so with extreme depraved indifference or based on some other Constitutional violation.

This is just me speaking, but I believe “Sovereign Immunity” needs to be removed from all levels of government, it has allowed for massive corruption and the ability for people we should hold to the highest standard to get away with Murder. Yes these is a place for immunity (true accidents) all other reason NO.

An example: suspect opens fire on a crowd and officers return fire, they should be protected from any death or injury they inflict while trying to to stop it.
Example 2: Politician makes statements he knows to be false, he should be able to be sued for slander and liable.

Example 3: Police perform a warrant execution but hit the wrong house, they should be liable for all damages and distress and injuries. Sorry Charlie you better have the right address.

Better yet, If a criminal cannot lie to you than a cop should not be allowed to either. That is the most perfect example of “Rules for THE not for ME” ever. Do your damn job and gather the evidence and information, let the DA charge if he/she can make a case…. It is also the #1 reason to NEVER speak to the Police without a lawyer, those who say taking the 5th makes you guilty are morons, and have no clue of how low some officers will sink to make a case.

HOLY CRAP! It’s  Luke Rudkowski’s (We Are Change) older brother!  That is uncanny!

Similar problem in the UK. You try and stop a burglar from robbing you or someone else, you get arrested for assault!

Here is  a good one for you. I have posted this at least 50 times now to people on AOL. And all the sudden I get told for just one post I violated policy.

As someone who was a Guide on AOL and Member of the CAT team ( Child protection team) back when it started I know the Terms of Service very well. I know how to stay well within them. But now the TOS is not even a real thing. It is based on whatever someone who views your post likes or dislikes. They also removed the ability to appeal an action (in violation of their own TOS)

People are fighting a battle of freedoms and rights that cannot be won especially when these companies will not hold themselves or employee’s volunteers to the same rules they expect their members to.

@dragonlady
They allow the commenting through the AOL news, I have had e-mail accounts older than many people on the net now. hate to admit it but AOL and Prodigy, I looked a while back and found a e-mail from 1994 and guessing based off it I have been on that long for sure with both because I forwarded it to my Prodigy account lol. 28 years for certain.

In the early days there was not really censorship, definitely community standards, but those were mostly based around “If you would not say it to your grandmother do not say it in a chatroom or a public region post” There were exceptions such as private chatroom or if you wrote a story (now called blog) and the words used were fitting and not just for shock value.

In truth, we were more concerned about kids and predators…. Kids getting on the PC and doing stuff they should not and predators for obvious reasons. In truth, the net has gotten worse because of censorship. I am no fan of government, lets face it they could go bankrupt running an ice factory on the south pole. But they need to step is and stop the censorship and media bias. We all know a certain section that needs to be repealed, but it needs to go further by saying unless it breaks a law of the country (federal laws only) then it shall be allowed.

Put the responsibility on the parent to actually monitor what their little darlings are doing on the net. Let Law enforcement do their job when a potential crime is reported and let free information flow.  I sit here and think about all the sites I have owned or helped run over the years and the rules were always the big 7.

1. No spam
2. No Porn
3. No threats
4. No Porn
5. No fights
6. No religion
7. No politics.

The big 7. though #7  and 6 I have had on a few general chat areas , sometimes it goes smoothly sometimes it is a clusterfuck and has to be shut down. Religion and Politics are tricky on any site.  Its also why you shouldnt bring them up at Holiday events with family.
