PREPPERS PING ALERT!
When the zombie apocalypse starts, the police will be too busy to answer your call. YOU'RE ON YOUR OWN.

You’ve, We have, all ways been on our own. The Police have never protected me. How about you? I would prefer that they not even know I’m alive. I have enough problems already without a bunch of jack booted thugs showing up.
I wish there were some way to “opt out” of Police “protection”. But they are kinda like the Mafia. Youse just pay and don’t ask any questions.
BTW again. When was the last time anyone here was actually “protected”, I mean saved from harm, by the Police?
Anybody?
The concept of "police" only works where crime is occasional, and the cops can converge lots of men on a localized incident. You will also notice that cops these days will NOT want to show up unless they overwhelmingly outnumber and outgun the bad guys.
When there are more incidents than cops, the system breaks down. Most union, civil service cops these days will find a doughnut shop rather than willingly walk into a situation where there is significant personal danger. Look at New Orleans during Katrina.
When the “zombie apocalypse” starts, the police will have a choice of protecting the public at large (insofar as they can) vs protecting their families. Do the math, preferably before it starts.
