To Protect And Serve

Video shows a man pull out a gun and start firing right before Detroit police officers appear to flee.
The department has launched an investigation into what was captured on the police dashcam. The officers could face consequences from the incident that happened on June 30 if wrongdoing is found.
The gunman hung out of the back of a car and fired shots at a man, striking him. Video appears to show officers speeding away instead of jumping into action.
“Troubling, not consistent to training,” Interim police Chief James White said.
White said the officers did return to help the man who was shot. He said the department is investigating if the officers called the shooting in.
“Shocking is an understatement. I think we all have the understanding the police are to run towards danger as we are running away from it,” Local 4 Legal Analyst Neil Rockind said.
And where did you get that false understanding? Who taught that to you? You’re a legal analyst – you’re supposed to know better.

Did the Officers go home safely at the end of their shift?

We’ve created a situation where police fear consequences more than bullets.

Heroes all, our brave boys in blue. There will never be any hope of ‘police reform’. The left demonizes them, the right worships them. Neither side will give an inch, so the BS cops pull all the time will go on and on.

The shooters weren’t troubled by a squad car right next to them?
This sounds like dirty cops rather than cowardly cops.

@Red Man,
Well partly. The left demonizes them in an effort to rid all units of any last vestiges of integrity so that the Left can fully take over the po po nationally for the purposes of making war on trad americans and other normal people who just want to be left alone.
The Left gave away so much intel about their plans, methods, strategies, and tactics under Trump…and everybody already forgot.

Hudson H Luce got it correct – “no duty to protect” … And, clearly there was not “society” present thereabouts where there may arise a “duty” to maintain “order”. …
Yet, they may be charged with a “misdemeanor” ? What they ran the “Stop Sign” ? Their cruiser had contact with the assailant’s vehicle, thus “leaving the scene of an accident” ?
