Most of the time I see local cops generating revenue by setting up speed traps, or filling out police reports for thefts, burglaries, etc. that are nothing more than the required fodder to submit and insurance claim.
You see more about shot dogs, high-speed chases of teenagers, mistaken address no-knock warrant entries, or arresting someone after a homefront confrontation with a neighbor than you see of a policeman actually preventing/stopping a real crime mid-stream.
When the sh!t hits the fan, don't count on the police. In fact, best advice is to stay away from them.. One only need to look back at the immediate after action by police there to see that Constitutionally guaranteed rights get violated.

I agree. When civil order begins to break down, the cops will be defending their paychecks and power, not the citizens.
The scary thing about this story (and many like it) is that the citizen was minding his own business when gunfire from an out of control cop erupts in the backyard. Now if gunfire erupts in my backyard, I might be tempted to go outside armed. Then, I get shot and the “official story” will be that a crazed civilian came at a cop with a gun. Same thing with wrong address no-knocks at 2am.
