I must be wrong to characterize an entire profession in a way that conflicts with your perceptions, eh?

Yes, those valiant protectors of my safety, upholding their oath to protect the Constitution at every second, diligently sitting at the end of the block, waiting and watching for the bad person to step foot on my lawn late at night with ill intent, competently doing their "Law Enforcement" thingy.

Uh huh. Sure.


I can really only see one or at the most, two scenarios where I (or someone close to me) would willingly summon a member of that profession to my house;

To clean up a body (either mine or the intruder) or to remove a belligerent, which is pretty much the same thing.

Doing so still risks having them come over and making things worse.
