While I have a very deep respect for all LEOs and the extremely difficult job they do, I do not feel as though they are above the law or should have additional protections that are not available to the citizens of this nation.
Warren v. District of Columbia[1] (444 A.2d. 1, D.C. Ct. of Ap. 1981) is an oft-quoted[2] District of Columbia Court of Appeals (equivalent to a state supreme court) case that held police do not have a duty to provide police services to individuals, even if a dispatcher promises help to be on the way, except when police develop a special duty to particular individuals.
I am not entitled to police protection, therefor any armaments the police carry are for their own protection only. As a free man and someone who was endowed by my creator with an inalienable right to defend myself from harm, I shall be entitled to the same protections as any LEO might desire as well.
