Yes, I expect a few on duty officers to protect the house. But this goes well beyond that. How much do you want to twist the logic to make this a justifiable situation?

While police where protecting his house a police station went up in flames. I don’t care who you are, you can see there is wrong on all sides of the picture here.
Why so many cops protecting the accused? Why no cops protecting their own station? Why no national guard IMMEDIATELY when it’s obvious the police have zero handle on the situation?
Because the leadership at any level could not address this so we are obviously left to destructive behavior on all sides. But that conversation doesn’t attract eyeballs.

Are you suggesting that they should instead say "Hey George, we sincerely feel bad for you, but we can't help but let the mob burn down your house, because, you know, we're at a BBQ party weekend. Also your career is entirely over. Good luck."
Honestly I'd rather be surprised if there is any street cop who do not show up.
