    Because they did not rule on the fourth amendment in that case. Rehnquist expressed an OPINION but it was not a supreme court decision.

    They're really careful not to clarify the law and constitution for the hell of it. It is binding, and will be cited as precedent in numerous cases.

    The court's decision in that case was that there was no duty to protect. However, the portion you highlighted was an OPINION on the ruling on areas where the government would have a duty to protect and not the Supreme Court decision itself.

    It isn't binding. It was not a supreme court decision. The case you linked up was different, it was a situation where a private party injured another, not one where the officers injured or put someone into custody.

    Those things are directives to the fed and state governments as to what is the law of the land.

    I'm Bush v Gore, they ruled for Bush, but also specified that all the ballots must be counted. After the state didn't even bother to try, they subsequently ruled that even if the state followed their "side note", they didn't have sufficient time.

    A famous case example that shows how the majority opinion is the law. The Court has remedy powers, so they can direct the lower courts and govt to follow additional rules.

    In brown v boe, they ruled separate but unequal to be unconstitutional. Their side note was"undo it with all due haste."

    El pres you are just flat out wrong. Cops carry aid bags. You think they would just sit by and watch a fellow officer bleed to death? This was an accidental shooting. The boy was not armed. They should have administered emergency first aid. I guarantee they are trained in first aid. They probably even have quick clot in their med kit. This was murder.
