All the people being wary about the cops is nothing
compared to the worrying that cops do about "citizens"

(citizen is a word that reduces to tax cattle)

The police officers are bombarded with news, and internal circulations about officers being shot or shot at. And so, cops everywhere ready for that next step into full out civil war.

With the police officers already at the line of shoot first... or your dead,
what should be the response of normal people?

As Larken Rose has asked:

When is it okay to shoot a cop?

What do you do, when all you want is to be left alone to go to work, go home, go to sleep, but then the police show up at your door.

What is the % chance that you will ever have a peaceful life again?
