“[T]he police do not and cannot protect law-abiding citizens from criminal violence. ... This thought may not occur to wealthy people who can shelter themselves in low-crime enclaves and who care not at all about their less fortunate neighbors. But no one knows it better than the police, who scrupulously preserve their own right to carry firearms on and off duty (and often after they retire as well) even while some of them advocate disarming those whom the police cannot protect.”

Sadly the average resonse time to a 911 call is about 23 minutes. And that simply can't be helped. But the response time of a .45 is about 1200 fps. So when seconds count and the police are only minutes away....

The police mainly make reports of a robbery or murder after it has happened. They will try to find the culprit but you will still be robbed or dead. It's up to each citizen to protect his person and property, not the police.

Head's up US Citizens. Both Houses are voting on the NDAA Indefinate Detention bill today. Call your Senators and Congressmen.

Law enforcement is an oxymoron. Can anyone enforce gravity, that relates to the fiscal, science ? NO. Police are a standing army who's primary purpose is to enforce tyranny (at the end of a gun)

I know, right? !

The police are completely unscrupulous in their actions and activities. The police understand nothing of the profession of scientific law enforcement. If you would foolishly question them on their activities, which they refuse to answer most times, also you feel like you just escaped an life threatening exchange with unbalanced monsters. The law-abiding, nonviolent, model citizen is road to elimination of crime.
