It’s not the police’s job to protect you. That’s your job. It is their job to find out who did it, if you are unable to protect yourself.

When mere seconds count, the police are several minutes away at best

It’s almost like the leftists WANT you to be undefended, and unable to defend yourself... Oh, that’s right, that’s exactly what they want.

Even in the best of times, when seconds count, the police are just minutes away.

When police are ORDERED to stand down, the only thing protecting you, is yourself.

Interestingly, police may be LESS likely to be ordered to stand down, if it would result in the people firing on the rioters themselves.

Well, that certainly would put them in bed with the New World Order Globalists. Oh, not supposed to say that because it's a nut-job tinfoil conspiracy. Sorry about that. I might post more. Accidentally, of course. /shiny side out

And the Obama hand sign or whatever @1:02. Look @ all of the Globalist fools in the audience doing the salute, as well.

They're all making the hand sign for their hero Manchurian Candidate Barack Hussein Obama when he comes on the screen (via remote) that they're all facing.

“Can’t” “Won’t”; that’s a distinction without a difference when it’s 2am and some criminal or psycho is breaking into your home. At that point, it’s all about defending yourself and your family with whatever force is necessary, and no tool makes you better equipped for that job than a firearm.
