The Platt Amendment
To protect the independence of American states, the US would, if necessary, exercise its power as the policeman of the Western Hemisphere. In other words, Europe was to keep out of the affairs of South and North America, but the US would act, using military force if necessary, and intervene in nations south of our border if necessary to protect our interests.

The US did. Their legislation gave their own country the ability to "go wherever and do whatever" on the basis of "national security", regardless of other countries' right of sovereignty and independence, and with an arbitrary decision of what constitutes a risk.
Roosevelt justified the Roosevelt Corollary to the Monroe Doctrine by emphasizing the need for the United States to intervene in Latin American nations to maintain stability and order, particularly in the face of European intervention. He argued that if a nation was unable to manage its affairs or pay its debts, the U.S. had the right to intervene to prevent European powers from exploiting the situation. This rationale was rooted in the belief that the U.S. had a responsibility to act as a "police power" in the Western Hemisphere to protect both American interests and the region's sovereignty.
The police was ordered not to protect Jews of their property and only to intervene if non-Jews was attacked or non-Jewish property was damaged.They did nothing, they 'turned a blind eye'.Their job was not to interfere (even when asked to by civilians). [The same went for the fire service].
The United States justified its intervention in neighboring American countries through the Monroe Doctrine, established in 1823, which asserted that European interference in the Western Hemisphere would be viewed as a threat to U.S. security. This doctrine evolved to support the idea of American exceptionalism, where the U.S. claimed the right to intervene in Latin America to promote stability and protect its economic interests. As a result, interventions were often framed as necessary to counter perceived threats, such as communism during the Cold War, thereby justifying U.S. involvement in regional conflicts and politics.

The belief that shaped President Theodore Roosevelt's foreign policy in the Western Hemisphere was the Roosevelt Corollary. It asserted the right of the United States to intervene in Latin American countries to maintain stability and prevent European powers from intervening. This policy aimed to protect American interests and establish the United States as a dominant power in the region.
Generally, countries should respect the sovereignty of other nations and refrain from intervening in their internal affairs. However, in some cases, such as humanitarian crises or violations of international law, the international community may consider intervention to protect human rights or restore peace and security, following established legal and ethical principles.
