The courts have repeatedly ruled that the police have no responsibility to protect anyone nor to interfere with a crime in progress. They exist to arrest perpetrators and gather evidence after a crime has already been committed. That doesn't say anything good or bad about any police officer. It's just the way it is.
The events at Robb Elementary offer more evidence than any reasonable person could possibly want that private citizens must be allowed to arm themselves with weapons at least equal to any that an offender (including those in government) might use in the commission of a crime.
Any interference in the most basic of all human rights--the right to defend oneself, family, and community from unwarranted violence--is, itself, criminal.
