Wait A Second!: Informant can’t sue the police for drug bust gone awry
But the legal analysis is more complicated. In DeShaney, the Supreme Court ruled that “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.” There are two exceptions to this rule: (1) where the government has a “special relationship” with the victim or (2) the government “in some way assisted in creating or increasing the danger to the victim.” However, even if the plaintiff satisfies one of these conditions, he can’t win the case unless the government’s failure to protect him was “shock[ing] to the contemporary conscience.”

Yup. The government does not owe you protection, even in situations they themselves created. Scary stuff.
