Most places didn’t have police until a hundred years ago. You were expected as a man, as an American to protect your own property and your self.

Police are basically....welfare for security... Or political enforces of state edicts against non criminals( that would be us ).

Still that way here in SE Tennessee. In fact, the local county Sheriff pretty much told me that exact thing not two years ago when I complained about all the illegals and the associated burglaries that were happening.....
