"To Protect and to Serve" was the winner of a fucking magazine contest the LAPD ran in February 1955 to determine what future motto to spray on their patrol cars. It has zero legal or even moral basis, as numerous US Supreme Court cases, such as Castle Rock v. Gonzalez, have shown.
It's an ideal that police want to feel like they're upholding, and expect us to believe. I'd argue they do have a moral obligation. The Uvalde police should've been lynched, regardless of legality.
