Prof. Glenn Reynolds on ‘Failure to Protect’
| Responding to the Uvalde school mass shooting, the good professor wrote:. |
[Instapundit] I'm thinking of writing an article calling for a new tort, "failure to protect," when those charged with public safety fail to reasonably do their jobs. Current case law says there's no right to police protection, but that's just case law. I'd hold cops and the municipalities that employ them jointly and severally liable for reckless or willful failure to protect. With treble damages when they stop others from doing so.
