Yeah, so sad isn't it lol. Just wait until the day comes when you dial 911, and get told by the voice on the other end that its too dangerous for us to help you. Which was the case with me back in 2004 when I reported gun fire during cinco de meyo. I was told by the female voice on the other end that "were sorry sir, but its too dangerous for us to send someone out to help you. I recommend you hide until the shooting stops.". a sentence I remember as plain as day as though it happened last night. The following day I had intended on filing a law suit for denial of service. When during the course of my research someone had already tried and failed. The case went to the supreme court of the US. Where the justices ruled that it is not the obligation of the state of local government to protect their citizens from criminal harm. That obligation falls solely on the private citizen to provide for their own security and safety. Later on that same ruling was re-enforced by an instructor when I went through EMT training. But you don't need me telling you this. You can either find out the hard way like I did, Or you can do the same research and find out for yourself just who is solely obligated for your safety and security. You can also ask a cop. You want to believe in a over exaggerated so called emergency services system, go for it. As for me, I will do what I need to do to protect myself, my family and close friends.
