I meant capital as US police has no duty to protect lives of citizens.

No, the police cannot be held liable for failing to protect you which is slightly different


“Nothing in the language of the due process clause itself requires the state to protect the life, liberty and property of its citizens against invasion by private actors.”

From the article, quoting the Supreme Court. I’ll admit that the police may still have a “duty” (whatever that is defined as), but it is certainly true that they aren’t required to protect the public
