Cops arrest security guard and brake her ankle for "refusing to aid a peace or a police officer"

Despite police officers saying they have absolutely no obligation to protect the citizenry, they seem to feel mere commoners have an obligation to protect them.

The NY Daily News reports:
A security guard says she suffered a broken ankle after being arrested for not helping cops subdue a suspect - even though she told police she couldn't leave her post. [...]

Reyes said that on March 19 around 8 p.m., two plainclothes narcotics cops struggled to subdue a suspect right outside of the building she was guarding. After additional cops helped get the man under control, officers berated Reyes for not lending a hand.

Reyes said a cop scolded her, "You stupid b---h, why didn't you help me?"

Reyes, who says she's not allowed to leave her post, told the cop: "I'm not a police officer, just a security guard. ... I'm not even allowed to step out of the building."

The 5-foot-7, 255-pound Reyes said that when she told a cop she was "too short and too heavy" to get up into the police van, an officer told her: "B---h, why should we help you if you didn't help one of our guys?"

Then Reyes said the cop told her to lean on his shoulder and step into the van, only to move out of the way so she fell to the ground.

"He just let me fall. He was just laughing at me. I got up, and they threw me in the wagon," she said.
Ah, the wonders of "public service!"
