On the flip side, just read up on the Samaritan law which provides legal
protection when you’re helping someone, in case of unintended consequences.

Yeah, isn’t that the US Bystander law? You’re under zero obligation to do
anything. While the cops might have internal (departmental) regulations that
differ, they’re not obligated by law to do anything – same as everyone else.

Read something quite disturbing yesterday. Apparently in the USA, the police
are under no obligation to protect individuals from harm. even though their
priority is to serve and protect. In other words, a police officer can watch
you get stabbed to death and he is not required by law to do anything. There's
a famous case about this that happened in 2011 in New York.
I have no idea what the status quo is in South Africa.
