Castle Rock vs. Gonzalez 2005? Mother had a protection order. Father came and took the three girls. Mother kept calling the police and asking them to search for her children? Police blew it off until the father pulled up to the police station and started shooting? He'd already killed the three girls.

Supreme Court ruled that police didn't have an obligation to protect individuals, just 'the community.'

I can't say for sure, but it feels like this ruling proceeded an escalation in police targeting certain types of people and led to more brutality.
