Police have no legal duty to respond and prevent crime or protect the victim. There have BEEN OVER 10 various supreme and state court cases stating such.

(ie: Warren v. District of Columbia, 444 A.2d 1 (D.C. 1981).
"...a government and its agencies are under no general duty to provide public services, such as police protection, to any particular individual citizen..." - Warren v. District of Columbia, 444 A.2d 1 (D.C. App. 1981)

Police may choose to protect but they don't have any obligation to do so. This is one of many reasons I think keeping and exercising our 2A rights is so important. We need to take responsibilty for our own safety.
