I see a potential solution to this problem, but the trouble is, the problem is pretty much limited to big cities run by squishy liberal Democrats. Where the solution would work most effectively is in conservative Republican controlled areas.
In any event, if some radical group declares open season on LEOs, in many states, Sheriffs are empowered to create armed civilian posses. So imagine if LEOs, in their vehicles, get a “ride along” with say four armed civilians, in “overwatch”, who tag along and remain in their car unless they see a potential threat to an officer.
Then they just honk their horn. This puts the officer on alert to a serious threat. And if the threat materializes despite officer awareness, say a gang or mob of armed attackers, the civilians are able to counter a much larger mob, strictly following the lead of the officer.
If he opens fire, they will give a serious support barrage.
In the vast majority of cases, of course, they would keep their distance and just sit there quietly. Four pairs of eyes to watch the cops’ back.
Yet if some wilding mob decided to lynch some police, they might find themselves under withering flanking fire.
Was in Seattle not too long ago and this black homeless drug addict was holding up a sign saying “I’m White too”....
All you can do is laugh...
Your math is way off. There are well over 200 million pale horses in Amerika still.
And Asains aren’t going to put up with their BS either.
Interesting that what I had proposed is, after a fashion, now being used in Phoenix against its freeway shooter(s).
Just trying to be conservative to point out the folly of their boast.
