Fact of life: When seconds count the police are only minutes away.

Not a criticism - that’s just how it is.
The only solution is to either hire an armed guard or serve as your own personal security.

‘’Police are not legally bound to keep us safe by preventing violence and crime. Police are called Law Enforcement Officers because they are expected to enforce the law.However, the law can only be enforced after it has been broken in a free society.’’

Bingo! This is a point many I’ve talked to struggle to grasp. Police officers are not the public’s bodyguards. For the most part they’re the clean-up crew. (With the utmost respect for the job they do, of course.)

This is an excellent and clear series of essays that gets at an important issue, how a liberal thinks about one particular subject, self-defense. The focus is on the liberal’s inaccurate beliefs about the roles and capabilities of police. That is useful information. It is up to the reader to determine how to apply this information to their own experiences with liberals. I see the liberal view of police as similar to the view presented in movies, where the police or the rescuer, whomever that is, comes to the rescue at the last minute saves the day. Police and other public servants, EMT’s for example, aren’t able to protect you in many instances and place emphasis on protecting themselves. They don’t enter dangerous situations till the danger is gone. This isn’t a criticism, it is simply the nature of their jobs. Many of them go to extraordinary lengths at time to help others.

However, a child or someone who doesn’t have a real understanding of crime or the nature of self-defense, can operate under some serious misconceptions, as the author has made clear. As time goes on, I hope more liberals gain a better understanding of these issues, else, there are many opportunistic politicians who will strip them of their freedoms.
