Unfortunately, while the government may not protect you or your property, they do protect themselves. The police have no duty whatsoever to protect you in any way. This has been adjudicated all the way to the supreme court.
Woe unto you though, if you make any effort at all to protect your property from feral, uncivilized scum. Then the entire might of the state will land on you like one of those 2-ton acme anvils from Warner Brothers cartoons.
The state will not hesitate to send the police to murder you, and the police will be quite happy to play dress up in their camo, vests and whatnot so they'll get a chance to kill you .
The same drones that mindlessly enforced every covid restriction, no matter how insane is more than willing to murder you in cold blood if you give them the slightest excuse.
The Police in California need to have a line drawn through “To Protect And Serve” on their cars with an explanation printed below it “By Order Of California Democrats”
