I'd like to believe that there are good cops out there that will be like "hey wait a minute" and when push comes to shove they'll be some of the greatest allies of the people, who protects the people and not just the powerful. I'd like to believe.

You don't have to believe. You saw it happen already on January 6th.

Would you stay in the building and fight the rioters, when you were outnumbered a hundred to one with them having lots of weapons, all yelling and big sprays of bear mace, and a lot of them saying to you, "Just join us, we're on your side?"

I'd absolutely like to believe I would, but the truth is, I don't have a clue what I would do.
