A police officer is under no legal obligation to help you. He can continue eating his donut while you're getting assaulted right next to him. I forget the case name, easy to look up, but it involved a call about a rape in progress and the responding police officer never bothered to check on the woman who was as a result raped.
Ya'll need the protection of officer smith and officer wesson.
