Dude had like a dozen people providing security, including several cops. As usual the cops failed to protect anyone.

They're not legally obligated to protect anyone. "Most recently, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit upheld a lower court ruling that police could not be held liable for failing to protect students in the 2018 shooting that claimed 17 lives at Marjorie Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida."
