That brings about the question of whether or not law enforcement is just in choosing not to enforce the law.

Theoretically, "Law enforcement officers" are merely an agreed upon deferrment of personal responsibility/action in enforcing the law, or securing one's personal safety. Should law enforcement be derelict in their duty and obligation toward the people in enforcing the law, and providing said safety, the onus of protecting one's self from harm ultimately falls upon one's self. Rather be tried by 12 than carried by 6, as the saying goes.

In a primitive state, one's law is rather subjective, as it doesn't require oversight or consensus. If my law says when you do "that", i kill you, and then you do "that" and i just kill you, thats that. Are you advocating for the continued dereliction of duty? And if so, do you understand the longterm implications of said position?
