"We owe no duty to protect the general public"

I want to thank Greg, producer of the Dr. Jack Stockwell show on KTKK 630 AM in Salt Lake City for sending me this story. (I have not verified any of the details of the report but I will be calling to do that.) It's a horrible story about a seventeen year old who was murdered while helping the local protection racketeers in Palm Beach, Florida, commonly referred to as the "sheriff". The boy's parents brought a wrongful death lawsuit against the "sheriff".

Harriet Lewis, the attorney representing the "sheriff" is reported as saying: "We owe no duty to protect the general public. All we can do is try to solve crime once it occurs. To have it otherwise would bankrupt every department in the country..."

Those familiar with my book and radio show know I've been pointing this out for a decade. This is just one more example of an indisputable truth: people calling themselves "government" are not here to protect anyone's life, liberty and property. This lawyer goes so far as to qualify it by stating government cannot provide protection or stop crime.

For the rest:

This is certainly a practical example of why people should be armed.

Article is stupid drivel. You WILL have to lay your hand upon the tyrant, for if you don't, he WILL lay his minions hands upon yours and your families.

Armed with weapons and knowledge.

It is not the duty of government to protect you. The claim that government is there to protect you comes from TV shows not the Constitution. It is your duty to protect yourself and your property.

The duty of the sheriff is to apprehend the guy who did the murdering, and it is the duty of the court to determine the facts and prevent him from killing again, if possible.

Police have never existed to help and serve the public, since their founding they have been the bottom tier of those whom are there to uphold and to preserve the government. That is their number one duty, to preserve and support the State.

The legitimate role of government is to prosecute crime, after it occurs.

If we expected government to prosecute pre-crime, then we would have no liberty at all.

It's rather amazing that this actually needs to be explained to a supposed "anarchist".

Then again, I suppose that it makes sense, because in reality, anarchy is actually a totalitarian system.

The Massachusetts State Police was founded in September 1865, making it the oldest state-wide police agency in the United States. This was immediately after the National Bank Act of 1864. The police exist to protect banking interests.

The duty of the county sheriff is to support the constitution and capture people who infringe on other people's rights.

The most important job of the police is to "protect and serve" the interests and revenue of the state. It wasn't always that way, but that seems to be the way things are going now.

Actually, if one does a little research into the advent of professional police forces, one finds that it actually WAS always this way. The reason they were initially formed was specifically to protect the elites from the rabble, that would be you and I, and to help those elites plunder the majority for their own benefit and the benefit of their cronies.

I don't see him asking for an explanation-he's just pointing out that police don't exist to protect and serve.
