JPFO ALERT: THE MYTH OF POLICE PROTECTION
Do you have the right to police protection? That’s the
question the US Supreme Court will be deciding in the case
of Gonzalez vs. Castle Rock
(http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2005/03/17/60minutes/main68
1416.shtml or http://tinyurl.com/5lz9z).
Frightened by her estranged husband Simon’s erratic
behavior, Jessica Gonzales took out a restraining order
against him. When Simon kidnapped the couple’s three
children, Jessica called the police multiple times begging
for help, and even told them where the children were.
Despite Simon’s volatile history, despite his blatant
violation of the restraining order, despite Jessica’s
information on where the children could be found, and
despite Colorado law that violators of restraining orders
must be arrested … it wasn’t until Simon showed up at the
Castle Rock police station and began firing upon it that
Castle Rock’s finest responded. After killing Simon with
return fire, police found the gunshot bodies of the
couple’s three children in Simon’s truck, murdered by their
own father.
Events such as this do not prove the need for “gun control”
– they prove the utter inability of the police to protect
individuals from violent crime. Even Castle Rock’s police
chief Tony Lane said in a letter to _60 Minutes_,
“[Restraining orders] do not protect society from the Simon
Gonzales of the world.” Indeed, especially when police
have neither the obligation nor the inclination to enforce
them.
In the JPFO book _Dial 911 and Die_
(http://www.jpfo.org/dial911anddie.htm), author Richard W.
Stevens dispels the myth of police protection with a state-
by-state rundown of case law and court decisions. The
bottom line: you’re on your own. Gunowners NEED to remind
people of this fact.
Relying on 911 and the police is a deadly fantasy. Jessica
Gonzales bought into the monstrous myth that the police
would protect her family, and paid for that naivete? with
her children’s lives. Don’t allow the police and the gun-
prohibitionists to weasel out of the fraud they’ve
perpetrated upon the public.
