I went through mist of the posts in this thread and did not see this mentioned. Apologies if I missed it.

I know that the police do not have an affirmative legal duty to protect us from crime. But in this case, the police went a step further and actively assisted the criminal by preventing others from defending their children from harm. Does this not open them up to potential liability? Also, would the parents have been legally justified in using force to get through the police who were trying to prevent them from stopping the crime in progress.

Basically - If you don't want to help, fine. But at least get out of the way of those who are trying to help.

If someone can show actual evidence that LGBTQ+ people are significantly more likely to commit violent felonies, then a discussion about restricting their access to weapons might make sense. But without that type of evidence, it just comes across as bigoted, to be mild.
