She wasn't obligated? Oh no, fcker, she was. She's policeman/detective on the fcking duty. It was in her fcking oath, you little circumcised b*ttsniffer. Fcking dip****.
"Ooohh, I am DetEcTiVe, so cool and edgy, but when it comes to my responsibilities, and consequences of my actions, then it's hard no-no, I'm too edgy for that! Kill or be killed, think only about yourself and your hide."
The guy never wanted to be a cop in the first place. He was basically forced into it by his ****ty braindead system. Of course he's going to be a terrible cop.
as i understand in the usa police arent obligated to risk their lives for anybody and if a woman like her approached in selinas situation most likely in the usa she wuld of been shot for makeing the officer belive his/her life was in danger
i know he got a lot of critique for his priorities.
but not many people understood that to save people, you have to save yourself first. for example, you have to be a strong swimmer and confident to survive the water, before you can go in the water to safe other people in trouble there.
in this case, if he stop to save brenda, their possibilities to survive drop. so he is saving his partner first. and in saving his partner and running away, the monsters will follow them too, thus Brenda's chance of surviving increases.
Given the state of the world at the time of the release of the novel, and now I would’ve assumed that people had come to the realization that cops are not obligated to protect citizens. The motto “protect and serve” has no actual meaning to it bc cops aren’t forced to uphold it.
Their camaraderie seems good but it's their job to protect people. According to laws and various guidelines, preference is always given to civilians first. But I'm just gonna assume things are different in this fictional world.
