SO THE SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES, IN THE CASE, TOWN OF CASTLE ROCK v. GONZALES 545 U.S. 748 SAID COPS HAVE NO LEGAL DUTY TO PROTECT ANYONE AND ACCORDING TO THE SQUIRMY NATURE OF LAW THEY'RE RIGHT By William Thorpe

Yes according to the squirmy nature of law, Cops or Government aren't LEGALLY obligated to do anything and we actually see how this plays out in the work of holding the Virginia Department of Corrections accountable and reform of its deeds. Consequently what rulings and proclamations as the Supreme Courts' Town of Castle Rock v. Gonzales also show and enable is the fact that Justice or doing right by the mistreated and harmed is, it compels us to actually grasp the nature of our Social Contract and the ensuing underpinning social relationships. I won't go all into the details of the Castle Rock case but I strongly ask that you the reader get the case and read it. Now if you happen to be focused on and concerned with Prison reform in Virginia along with its justice infrastructure, you will have to, not only study the case but also follow how it impacts all and what we do pursuing transparency within Virginia's governmental formulations. Let me unequivocally state: despite the fact that WE THE PEOPLE are GOVERNMENT, we are also in conflict with ourselves as government. To be specific the conflict stands or appears as the objectification of our ignorance, assumptions and suppositions, resulting as a dash of cold water in our collective faces as the Virginia tax payer when we encounter the fact that, the confounding sophistry of "legal duty" has a "qualifier", a manuver, called DISCRETION. What this simply means is all and I stress all governmental functions, irrespective of descriptive and operative language are discretionary. So for example, even though the Virginia prisoner is entitled to PAROLE, receiving it or getting it is discretionary or in other words up to the speculations, assumptions and biases of The Virginia Parole Board. The point though is all of this can be changed, improved on, reformed with the type and sort of politics that presents these issues as questions of Government, untethered from, removed from and devoid of the varied representations of idealistic distortions and deviations. If the highest function of The People of Virginia, collectively as Government, as The Commonwealth of Virginia, is its organized violence imposing imprisonment as function of its justice infrastructure and if the imprisonment scheme and practices are patently counterproductive and must be reformed for its generalized injustice then we have to have a politics of REFORM.A politics that highlights contradictions and antagonisms, not as anomalies of Virginia Government but reflective of its suppositionary foundation that is specifically at odds with the aspirations of modern Virginia and its human condition. The Virginia Department of Corrections as under belly of The Commonwealth is quintessential Virginia as such it is where we see, find and experience its shortcomings and inabilities which as I've already identified, are foundational. In other words the issue isn't with criminality or social deviance, both instances and circumstances are answers albeit dysfunctional and asocial, but the question is how does Virginia apply LAW with its social cohesiveness of "no one is above it".Yes,we get the schizophrenia of Virginia's Thomas Jefferson thundering on the equality, freedom of humanity while enslaving humanity and raping Sally Hemings.We get Virginia's James Madison's demand for The 2d amend.as defense of slavery, a maneuver for retention of discretion.
