Wolf, those are common cases referenced. It doesn't mean the police aren't obligated to help you if you're wronged. It means you can't hold the government liable if you get wronged when no cops are around or aware of the crime. It doesn't mean cops don't have a job, it clarifies the fact that the police can't be everywhere and know everything. Do you want everyone with a car stolen to be able to sue the state for it's cost? What about if you get jumped in a back alley and the cops can't find who did it, are you going to sue the police force for not being there?
