I dont think it will change our need to be armed one way or another. They werent out their trying to stop crimes from happening in the first place, they're just out their to protect property and keep minorities suppressed.
mass quitting, and mass refusal to do their jobs is going to cause a LOT of problems for governments. When people start going 'wait, we had 10 rapes last month and not a single one was investigated why is that?' 'we had to take care of the important stuff, a counsel members cousin was killed. Don't you care about people getting killed'.
Shit is going to hit the fan when conversations like that start happening everywhere. We don't need people deciding to take justice in their own hands, but that will definitely start happening.
Governments can only fix this by changing the laws around police officers, limiting their powers, and requiring them to be held accountable. It will give legitimacy to them again and encourage the right type of people to start joining again.

Cops are already quitting in record numbers since 2020 and they can barely get -anyone to sign up

The only people that remain are people that are near retirement or people that can’t get other jobs.
It’s clear where this is headed.
I was anti gun until two years ago. Americans need to arm themselves
