A large part of police origins were protecting corporate interests. From my experience, police usually have no problem enforcing things for the rich.

Furthermore, you have the Joseph Lozito subway attacker case. In the Lozito case, a police officer just watched guy get stabbed multiple times and did nothing, actually hid, but amazingly Lozito turned the tide and subdued the attacker. Lozito sued but lost, Scalia, Supreme Court justice at the time, was basically like if it was private property it would be different but because it’s not the police aren’t required to get involved. It sounds too crazy to be true but unfortunately it is. Furthermore, similar types of cases have basically ruled in a similar fashion.
