The "not legally required to help" thing sounds silly in the abstract, but most people interested in police reform are going to want to keep it. A police force that's required to help people is, by definition, a police force that can be sued for not policing aggressively enough.

Most of the issues with police today are not that they are enforcing the law too aggressively, it is that they are closing out call tickets too aggressively.

They are entirely different things: https://sneak.berlin/20200628/the-problem-with-police-in-ame...
