When cops only legal responsibility is to enforce the law, and the laws are written to protect corporate interests, of course they will stand outside the school and arrest protesters. SCOTUS has ruled that way so many times that "to serve and protect" is literally gaslighting.

Police don't even really have a duty to enforce the law, at least not in the USA:

They don't even have a duty to know what the law is.
