In Warren v. D.C, 444 a.2d1 (DC. CT Ap. 1981), The DC highest court states the Government has NO duty to provide police protection to any citizen after 3 women were raped for 14 hrs and police never came after being called several times? Opinions?

First off, the police did arrive after the first call but left after hearing no disturbance or having anybody answer the door. Secondly, the decision is sensible. Could you imagine the number of lawsuits that would exist if every time a crime was committed the police could be held responsible?

Unfortunately most people have never heard about this almost 30 year old ruling from the Supreme Court of the United States. You must take responsibility for your own safety and stop living in a state of denial. There are some very bad people out there that wish to do you harm! When seconds count the police are only minutes away. (Maybe) Wake up sheeple!

If there isn't a mitigating factor that we haven't heard about, I have a difficult time with this ruling. Our tax dollars should pay for this protection. I understand that they can't protect everyone at every moment, but neglecting to respond to a call and that it's not their responsibility, sounds to me like some judge/s need to be voted out of office.

I'd have to disagree slightly with your synopsis. The court did not state that the government has no duty to provide police protection. The court stated that the police have no duty of care in the tort of negligence to the public at large. Unfortunately this largely reflects the common law position, and a similar case (Hill v Chief Constable of York) affirms the same thing. Part of the issue is that there is insufficient proximity between police generally and the public, however the courts in both cases left it open for, if proximity is established by the acts of individual officers in the circumstances this may be enough to establish a duty of care (note that one of the plaintiffs in Warren v DC was successful, if I remember correctly). Naturally the court doesn't say simply that there is no DUTY to protect the public at large, or no moral duty to respond to calls for help.

If you call the police and say that someone is in your house attacking your room mate downstairs... They are supposed to come and save the day. I don't see why it has anything to do with "police protection" i think its their job, which they have obviously failed, the 3 women should have been successful in sueing the government because the police department is owned by the state/government is it not? And the police department failed...

At least the rapists were pretty sure they wouldn't get shot in DC!
