Pulse victims sue OPD

That a boy! Exploit that attack for your goddamn money! Slander the name of the cop who fought back alone and tried to save you- he is your piñata for that money!!!
 
Blegh. Gross.

I bet you these people were suckered in by some sly lawyer who is promising them tons of money.

Sad.

Supreme Court already set the precedent that the police have no legal requirement to protect people. Back the blue!

That said this is ambulance chasing at it's worst.

And you say you’re not a lefty.
 
WTF does a 100% factual statement have to do with my political views?

WASHINGTON, June 27 - The Supreme Court ruled on Monday that the police did not have a constitutional duty to protect a person from harm, even a woman who had obtained a court-issued protective order against a violent husband making an arrest mandatory for a violation.
As always, it’s not as simple as it seems or as the NY Times wants to make it. It’s because they ruled on Constiutionality and SC precedent. The Constitution is written to limit government’s ability to do things, not to mandate action. So, they followed an earlier precedent that the Constitution did not imbue the Government with a mandate to enforce a restraining order. This is so that police forces and governments maintain discretion to enforce orders or not based on circumstance at the time rather than blindly enforce an order with no context.

Here’s a better explanation from the NIH: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1525280/

Different case, looks like a similar ruling, the police don't have a duty to protect you.

In a 7–2 opinion, the Supreme Court ruled that due process principles did not create a constitutional right to police protection
 
A recent report review of my all the autopsies of the 49 victims noted that 16 of them might have been saved if they received treatment earlier. (20 were shot/executed in the head).

Remember, the reason why OPD waited 3 hrs to storm the building was because they believed the terrorist had a bomb.

The 16 victims were believed to have bled out over the 3 hrs...where compression or a tourniquet could have saved their life. (Believe all who made it to nearby ORMC alive that were shot but we're able to escape early were able to survive).

Believe if this type of attack happened again today, law enforcement would not wait and "assume" a terrorist is telling the truth about bombs.
 
The most ridiculous part of the suit is about how police took people into the police station for statements. Since when is that a bad thing?
