[QUOTE="Whiskey_Clear, post: 401862, member: 735"] [USER=2897]@bwelbo[/USER] I hear where you are coming from. But you are ignoring the fact that he may not have actually broken any laws with his statements that alarmed folks. Again, I can say “If I ever see you I will punch your face.” In most states that is a conditional threat that doesn’t violate terroristic threat laws. If I say “I’m going to find you and punch you in the face.” It is a violation. Point is this. Cops may have wanted to arrest him or have him committed involuntarily. But without probable cause a specific crime was committed they can’t. Not without shredding the Constitution. Now if he did break laws and cops refused to prosecute or commit involuntarily, then they have some liability. I haven’t seen facts suggesting this was the case yet. Cops can’t prevent violence typically unless they have a very heavy presence in a particular area. Even then locations outside that area go unprotected. But cops don’t ususllt prevent many crimes, they just clean the messes up after they occur. [/QUOTE]
