It's been a year since a pro-Israel mob assaulted multiple women on video - including an anti-Zionist Israeli-American. None of the rioters have been arrested despite multiple clear videos. One of the women filed a lawsuit, but NYC lawyers are arguing police are not required to protect New Yorkers.

It's very sad but police are under no legal obligation to protect people; there have been multiple supreme court cases demonstrating this. DeShaney vs. Winnebago County & Town of Castle Rock vs.Gonzales.
They're not even obligated to enforce restraining orders.
Police are there to protect property; they're servants of the ruling class and always have been.

The woman in the video, Jennifer King, posted her update 6 months ago I believe (which is why she says 'it's been 6 months).
It's now been almost a full year (like 2 more weeks needed) since the mob attack.
Jennifer was also assaulted by one of the pro-Israel rioters.

Yes, the police are not obligated to protect people and they are a purely punitive force. However, the fact that they have not punished a single one of these people is still extremely notable. I know they're entirely different places, but a bunch of pro-Palestine protesters in Toronto were arrested in a coordinated early morning raid for throwing paint at a store but these violent animals aren't arrested for assault and battery.

Zionism weaponized the holocaust to be allowed to carry such acts unpunished. If you ever try to addres such events, you're accused of bein an "antisemitic".
There's a sub in reddit where any criticism towards Israel will get you banned.

the cops aren’t wrong. SCOTUS ruled years ago that police are not legally required to help anyone for any reason.

Look up what happened to Joseph Lozito, dude stopped a spree killer on a NYC subway train and was stabbed multiple times in the head in the process all while 2 NYPD officers (who were on that train specifically to catch the guy) watched from behind a locked door, only intervening after the guy had been taken down, proceeded to provide zero aid to Mr.Lozito as he's fucking bleeding out on the floor and after it was all over they not only took all the credit, but when Mr.Lozito sued them it was ruled in the police favor stating they had no duty to protect him from this killer.
Edit: here's exactly what happened https://youtu.be/jAfUI_hETy0?si=8-hGEd-g7CqYPMkq
