The book of Leviticus 19:15 says, You shall do no injustice in judgment; you shall not be partial to the poor nor defer to the great, but you are to judge your neighbor fairly. I think this verse supports the point you make. This verse also establishes the ideal that administrators - those who rule over and make decisions for the people - are to serve the people with the highest degree of justice and equity. This means that they are to treat all people equally, without favoritism or bias. In a society that is often plagued by corruption and bribery, this ideal is particularly important.

And by taking these and other steps, government agencies can play a key role in protecting the men and women who work tirelessly to keep us safe. The Bible says Let himthat think he standstake heed lest he fall(1 Corinthians 10:12). From that perspective it makes sense for emergency workers to have protection and training against attacks.
