Train as you fight and fight as you train. Do you still believe the weekend warriors and local police will be on our side?
Some will, some won't. Just like everything else.
Don't count on them to go either way till you know.
Police Dept. in the city I live in offers CC training to citizens and an advanced course on the police range with police trainers offering the tactical training the police officers receive.
I think there is a better chance they will come down on our side...but taking nothing to the bank.
