    They are armed. You should be too. And wear protective gear. They’ve permanently blinded people on purpose. They’ve already executed people in the street. Notice they aren’t near anyplace where bpp is active.

    An alarm won’t stop a break in, and a whistle won’t stop these goons from harming you.

      Intentional deescalation does more right now than having the people closest to ICE or Border Patrol agents carrying weapons.

      The standard for now is that responders with guns stay back to deter massacres.

      You both make good points, but prevention is better than de-escalation or alerting. Being known as protected is a preventative measure.

      Of course alarms/monitoring and response (de-escalation) are very important. But stopping it before it starts should get attention as well.

      If you really want to fight back, learn from the Mexican cartels and Islamic insurgencies.
