No, the SC didn't rule police have no duty to stop a crime. No, they didn't rule a person can resist arrest up to and including lethal force. No, they didn't make whatever stupid ruling you think they did.

Is this going to be one of those threads where if someone disagrees with you, you'll just say "wrong" and "incorrect" for 100 posts

Not if they provide an actual argument to debunk. As per usual.

Meaning you can easily dismiss whatever they say as not being a "Real Argument"

Not when police claim their motto is to protect and serve when they aren't obligated to do either.

Except that isn't what they ruled. They ruled that officers can't be sued for using discretion. Without that, officers would have to treat every claim with seriousness.

And technically, they didn't rule in a broad sense, they ruled they aren't obligated to enforce a restraining order.

Ruling how you want would mean good cops facing lawsuits without having done wrong.

Basically, a woman reported that her ex husband, who she had a restraining order on, had taken the kids and taken them to(iirc) Disneyland. The police didn't follow up on it, and shortly after the man arrived at the station, opened fire, and was killed, with the kids dead in his truck.

The cops acted wrongly but opening them up to legislation would have caused so many issues, and they made the ruling in general, rather than ruling that those cops did right.

Ok good. Have honestly been a bit worried about you. Noticed a shift in posting style maybe like a year ago.

Thought maybe your personal life was down the shitter. Or mental health. I know the times I've had a hard time I'm sometimes way different on here. I can even tell myself that I am. Can't imagine what other posters have thought at times.

Nah. I've been focusing on my posting and behavior and being less argumentative actually, largely by just not engaging with or writing off problem posters lol.

Ah. Maybe i just have been paying more attention to specific users in the last few years. I think Oct stands out because he posts about Stephen King sometimes, and I quite enjoy King. Lot of others just blend together.

My pet peeve is the misconception that accepting a pardon implies and/or requires an admission of guilt. The ruling stemmed from a specific case where the intention was to pardon someone in order to compel them to give what could otherwise be considered self-incriminating testimony. They declined the pardon, refused to testify, and were held in contempt. The Supreme Court ruled that they had the right to decline the pardon and were not required to testify.
