The real SHTF will happen when mandatory quarantine laws meet red flag laws.
“He refused to stay in his house according to the mandatory ‘shelter in place’ law, so we needed to take his guns.”
When that happens, people will shoot back. This is not China, France or Italy.
(Of course, this assumes cops will still be reporting for duty, and following stupid orders, instead of protecting their own families.)
Our provincial government just shut down all non-essential retail. So only grocery stores, pharmacies, gas stations, restaurant take-outs, and car repair shops can open. Oh yes. And the government monopoly liquor and marijuana stores! Government is desperate for its revenue.

Very interesting comment. In a real hard core SHTF scenario, I see two possibilities:
1. Most cops will show they have the same human needs and emotions and start protecting their own.
2. The bad cop control freak type will do the opposite and gleefully follow any stupid orders.
I’m so happy we live in the middle of nowhere, where the actual outside temp today is supposed to fall below 0 degrees F.
