I have had only one circumstance where I had to call the police because of an armed individual threatening me and my wife from outside our home. As soon as the police arrived I pulled the magazine, popped the chamber, and left the breach open on the table, and sat cross-legged on the floor. (The guy is a sociopath.)
I’ve only pulled my weapon twice. Both times because of some freaking high idiot at night: once in Seattle, and once where I won’t mention.
The cops are generally more scared than you are. They are almost always in novel circumstances.
Rebel against revenue-raising police enforcement of cultural(normative), administrative and regulatory law at all times – raise the cost of enforcement as high as you can. But not against crimes of life and property. The fact that we have given police mal-incentives, is one thing. That doesn’t mean we rebel against them at all times. If we do, they don’t even have the opportunity to learn the difference between moral police action, and immoral police action.
