I would argue "being on our own" would make it a bit easier.
However, for those of us who live in properly policed jurisdictions it is not quite that simple.
Of course, when I see our local LEO's take off their uniforms in order to stay alive and do their jobs, it will be very easy.

Indeed it would! Police are the only thing standing in the way of the proper administration of justice.
