Sensing Online: What will you do when they come for you?

Sensing Online: What will you do when they come for you?
"...There is a looming, severe cop shortage in cities across the country. 
Police who want to stay in the biz are fleeing to rural counties, but those counties have only so many slots. 
We will see the day when dialing 9-1-1 will basically be met with silence. 
What will you do then?
The wealthy are already hiring former cops or military to protect them ("Luxury apartment buildings in New York City are hiring armed security to protect wealthy residents amid fear of election day unrest"). 
I mean, Jeff Bezos will not need to call 9-1-1, let's face it. 
But you and I? 
It will be open season on us by a growing and emboldened criminal class, which will be free to range far outside their present working area. 
Your quiet, no-crime suburb will not stay that way. 
And the poor, including black Americans whose lives are supposed to matter, will suffer perhaps worst of all. 
Do you want to defund or abolish police? 
Okay, fine. 
I hope you find a way to abolish criminals, too. 
If you don't, what will you do when they come for you?...Read all.
