During the LA riots most of the deployed police were protecting fire fighters who were trying to keep the city from burning down.
.....and then the National Guard arrived with guns but no ammo !
I watched that riot from the flash point on. Actually, the police STOPPED protecting the courageous Fire-fighters, so the Fire Department stopped responding. That's why so much of the city burned. It wasn't until about a week later when the National Guard came in that things settled down. But then, it may have been there was little left to loot and the thugs were drunk.
My heroes out of that mess - the Koreans standing atop their stores with rifles in hand. Guess how many Korean stores were looted or burned? Guess how many of those armed Koreans were prosecuted for weapons infractions?
All should take example from that self-defense stance. It's beyond time for decent armed citizens to form groups to counter this racist nonsense that kills people and destroys personal property.
