Reply #21: I trust them to do what they are charged to do

and that doesn't include protecting anyone except those who are in their custody.. It is the job of law enforcement to investigate crime after it is committed, not to keep crimes from being committed, unless a crime is committed while planning another crime.

Basically, SCOTUS has said that each person is responsible for their own personal safety.

Bottom line, I trust law enforcement to draw a line around a body after a person is killed, but not to assure or insure it is the body of an offender and not my body, that is my job.
