Shaken, not stirred!
Well, this is an "Just Plain Politics" first. Smarter Than You and Taichiliberal are in AGREEMENT on a point of American policy.not so much of hair splitting as it is making it extraordinarily vague on purpose. protecting the public 'at large' has no real definition, other than enforcing the laws that the public has in place. removing liability for failure to protect an individual, unless you're in some sort of custodial status, allows law enforcement to prioritize office safety above all else. nobody is going to want to work for the government if the government isn't going to protect them from liability. yes, we are both right in the sense that most cops will subject themselves to danger, voluntarily, but will not be held accountable for their failure to do so.
Can I stand the strain?
