This is a really scary revelation. Actually, it’s an affirmation of what we already know. The mentality of so many in law enforcement is still startling though. Note that many in Law Enforcement do NOT feel the same way as the officers quoted below. But then, note where these quotes are coming from; a LONG way from the American Redoubt and a long way off from the America we knew and loved.

(Mamaroneck, NY) – In January, Project Veritas revealed hypocrisy by members of the media who crusaded against legally armed citizens, but refused to advertise their own homes as “Gun-Free Zones.” Now Project Veritas has dug even deeper to uncover the truth about the ability of law enforcement officers to protect the general public from attacks by violent criminals.
Project Veritas founder James O’Keefe noted, “So-called journalists like CNN’s Piers Morgan have invested so much time and energy demonizing gun owners that commonsense advice about self-defense from actual law enforcement officers has been met with an almost hysterical outrage.
“These media hypocrites have never even bothered to ask about all the lives that guns can SAVE. So we did.”
Project Veritas investigators spoke with police officers from North Carolina to New York who told them the unfortunate truth about the time it takes to respond to calls for help and what citizens can do until officers arrive. Here are just a few of the frank things they had to say:
“We try. We can’t always get there.” – NC
“Sometimes we can’t be anywhere at all because everybody’s tied up.” – Durham, NC
“Lock yourself in a bedroom, start yelling and screaming.” – Jersey City, NJ
“Some people have dogs.” – Yonkers, NY
“Go get some bleach. Go get ammonia.” – East Orange, NJ
“A rifle and shotgun is actually for luxury.” – Kew Gardens, NY
“It’s 2013. It’s the United States of America. You lock your doors and you hope nothing happens.” – NY

Oh, it gets better than that. My wife and I joined the local Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) so that we could help ourselves, and our neighbors in case of an emergency. What came out a couple times during training was that if there is a really big event, such as a large earthquake, people will be on their one for days at least, maybe weeks, because there aren’t enough ‘first responders’ to handle big events – only enough to handle a little more than ‘normal’ day to day demand.
At our ‘roll out’ ceremony at the end of training, there was a County councilman who spoke. He had retired from GE and had spent a fair amount of time at the Pentagon. He said he was glad to see so many people training to help themselves and their neighbors. He said that he was familiar with some of the war planning going on, and if there is a conflict on American soil within the next 25 years, EMP weapons will be used. If that happens, “The cavalry will not be riding over the hill any time soon. Possibly never.”
Thank you Bear and JJS, this just affirms what has been said all along. Thank GOD for this program and may HIS ever watchful eyes protect us all.
