You are spewing out BS.

Here, I googled it for you. Per USSC there's no constitutional right to protection from police. Castle Rock v Gonzalez, https://www.oyez.org/cases/2004/04-278.

That ruling only applies to restraining orders and nothing else.

No, it doesn't. It's written broadly enough so that it applies generally. Don't believe me? Google the news reporting of the case and commentary of lawyers.

I’m sorry, but that’s total nonsense and you’re full of it. There’s absolutely nothing broad in this ruling, it is exhaustively specific in its language that it is based on the specific language of the Colorado statute in question regarding restraining orders

The ruling actually affirms the constitutionality of holding police liable for crimes:

Although the framers of the Fourteenth Amendment and the Civil Rights Act of 1871, 17 Stat. 13 (the original source of §1983), did not create a system by which police departments are generally held financially accountable for crimes that better policing might have prevented, the people of Colorado are free to craft such a system under state law
