Obs]Now if you live in the wild wild west like Stockton(hail Sonya), then maybe its worth the risk. But if your the burbs somewhere with little crime and you got a piece just to be cool, i cant see how that increased risk is anything you would consider putting on your family.
Said no one ever thats been a victim of any sort of crime. Its that they wish they had a piece because "when seconds count, the police are only minutes away."
Similarly, police mostly just tax the population through tickets and forfeiture of property (basically highway robbery.) its not like the 70's or 80's anymore where the police actively walked their patrols and really interacted with the populous and got to know people.. Now by in large the police are scared. Perfect example is LAPD, more times then not when i see them driving they are breaking some kind of traffic law. They get away with it because they are police. Contrary to what Anti believes he is not required by law to protect me or anybody else, to think otherwise is complete fallacy.
Read "the rise of the warrior cop" the police have become militarized to the point that we now have a domestic standing army. Which was the point of "homeland security" aka "brown shirts." For fucks sakes you think its not weird cops have military grade gear and tactical vehicles that are better at taking an IED than the fucking humvee's i was in, in iraq, 2007? The fuck do the police need that shit for?
If you think the US isnt preparing to suppress its people you are crazy. People say, "of well these are good cops and they wouldn't do that unconstitutional thing!" They will do it because it will be under the guise of something else, and much like the nazi's the opposition will be made out to be not human.
Anyways, read the book. Anti, fuck officer safety, my safety is equally as important as any officers. Being an officer doesnt grant extra rights.
