Dallas, TX — A Dallas police officer is on administrative leave and could actually be fired for ignoring the pleas of a mother whose children were kidnapped at gunpoint.
Two weeks ago, Miesha Kilson was being chased down by a crazed maniac with a gun, Steven Douglas. During the chase Kilson hit a curb which left her vehicle disabled. Douglas then came over to Kilson’s vehicle and proceeded to kidnap her children at gun point.
“He reached into the windows, pulls it out,” said Kilson. “And as the window exploded in my face, I actually thought he shot it; I didn’t know at the time. But I did see his hands up and he pulled [the window] out. And I looked over, and as I looked up out that passenger window, I swear I saw an angel ‘cause I saw a police car right at my car.”
In that police car was 28-year veteran of the Dallas PD, Cpl. Les Richardson. Richardson watched the frantic Kilson begging him for help as her kids were being pulled out of the vehicle by a madman.
“That man [Richardson] looked up, he said, ‘What’s going on?’” said Kilson. “Right at my window, directly. I said, ‘Get him, get him!’ As [Douglas] got the gun, Maya said, ‘Get out, get out!’ [Douglas] saw the policeman, so he moved the gun. He jerked my son out the car. That policeman drove off. He drove off. He didn’t come back.”
After a chase involving other police officers, Douglas was eventually stopped and killed as he attempted to fire on police.
Disciplinary hearings were held Thursday in which Dallas police commanders recommended that Officer Les Richardson be terminated by Chief David Brown. It’s now up to Brown whether to fire Richardson or not.
The four allegations against Richardson are: dereliction of duty, improper comments, failure to immediately clear upon the completion of a call and use of tobacco products in a city vehicle.
These actions, or rather, inaction, by Richardson have set a new low in police misconduct.
The idea that police protect you is a misconception as they will seldom prevent violence. They normally show up after the violence or crime has been committed and then try and find a culprit, or in this case, they just ignore the crime taking place and leave.
The average response time to a 9-1-1 call is 10 minutes nationwide. In some cases the dispatchers do not even take the caller seriously and the victim ends up dead, when a crime could have actually been prevented.
The reality is that police act as revenue collectors for the state and are there to enforce the law only.
They most assuredly do not “protect and serve.”
Richardson may very well stay on the force despite his dereliction, as the Supreme Court ruled that the police do not owe a specific duty to provide police services to individuals based on the public duty doctrine. In other words, police do not have a constitutional duty to protect a person from harm.

But if you fail to help a cop in trouble, you will go to jail for failure to assist. Double standard is the norm in todays police state.
The coproaches have no legal obligation to protect you.
The Courts claim.
Their job is to enforce the policies of the elite.
Cop see baby daddy takin keeds from baby momma and do nothin cause baby daddy and cop prablee do da same thin in dat hoooood. I used to work in one of the worst parts of Dallas and know for a fact that the cops there are chicken Sheet as hell. Black on black violence there is a normal daily thing and cops are corrupt and lazy.
Gee….why am I not surprised…….
HANG HIM!! 😡

Hmm….Maybe he was running back to get his MRAP “rescue” vehicle. 🙄
On a more serious note, from this, I’m guessing that this police officer will use the excuse that he “feared for his life” and ran like a chicken.
Afterwards, he probably decided to call his buddies for back up because he could not handle one guy with a gun by himself and that the mere presence of a cop would have probably been more than enough for the guy to stop what he was doing, turn and run away or at least draw his attention away from the victim.
Just goes to show you that when a cop doesn’t have his gang behind him, he’s worthless. Like a wolf without a pack. I guess the cops are useless unless they are able to apply excessive force on someone. They don’t know how to handle a situation unless they have tanks, rocket launchers and automatic weapons with them. I remember when a cop was trained to restrain two or three guys by himself. Now he needs at least five guys helping him in order to restrain just one. It’s pathetic.
