They do not have a duty to protect you. That's what SCOTUS said. Whatever oath they take when they become cops has nothing to do with anything.
SCOTUS has no authority to usurp the authority of cities, counties, or States. They are the ones hiring police. They hire them for the purpose to protect citizens. They are bound by that, regardless of what SCOTUS says.
If the police fail to protect citizens, their hiring authority can be held responsible.
In other words, since the cops in Uvalde failed in their duty to protect civilians, the City of Uvalde can be jointly held responsible for the deaths.
