As much as I support our Sheriffs Department, even at full throttle they can't get here that fast, which is something of a shame since I don't exactly live in the sticks.
There's actually a more precident setting case from the late 1800's or early 1900's in which the US Supreme Court basically ruled that the purpose of law enforcement is not to protect the individual, but rather the community. I'll look up the name / citation when I get a chance on Monday or Tuesday, but it is the key piece of precident law cited in defending police departments against negligence charges of this nature.
