Code 3 I'm already there :-)
Old Timer: "Can we trust you, in hard times, to exercise that power correctly? Would you turn on your bosses if they order you to exercise that power inappropriatly?"
The answer to both of those questions is YES...
In a shtf scenario Law enforcement, as you know, will go to craps.....IF I were still able to make it to work , big IF, my main goal would be protecting you and yours from the looters/gang bangers and their likes (blue helmets?)..I would not ask anything of you in return. Would welcome any disciplined common sense person who wanted to help..
I'm the same as you... I want to raise my family, earn a living and be surrounded by like-minded, good people....
