Good point, BP.
We saw this in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina. A good portion of the members of the New Orleans police department didn't report for work, but rather stayed home to protect their families. Of the police that did report for duty, a good percentage went out to loot and steal from those that they had sworn to protect and serve. Having seen this, unless you live in a small town where the police officers and deputy sheriffs are personally known to the population, law enforcement personnel may NOT be your friends when the SHTF.

If at first you don't secede, try, try again!
