138. Indeed it was
It showed that you do not understand what is basic US law...that the police do not have a responsibility to protect individuals and that it is a general responsibility to the populace. The case you cited in Canada would not have gone the same way in the us.

The upshot of that is the individual has primary responsibility for their safety. Its one of the reasons that private firearms ownership for self defense is a good thing.
