Cops are not there to protect you, they are there for the People of the State.
Here is a hint, you are not the People.
It is not in the interests of the State to limit the riots at this time. If they start to get to the “elite” areas, you will see a whipsaw backlash.
If you, by yourself, try to defend your property or life the State will destroy you and all that you care about. The rioters will not be held accountable.
In short, the Cops are not your friend. You are not a cop, not their immediate family, and don’t give them orders.
Plan accordingly. But realize if you choose to defend yourself, you will be attacked by the cops who are standing by while you are assaulted.
That’s when the phrase, “Shoot, shovel, and shut-up” becomes important. Take care of business and just slip away quietly.
