I absolutely rely on the police for catastrophe protection, but I still stand by the opinion that living your life in constant preparation for the impending apocalypse hardly sounds like the standard for the American Dream.

It is interesting how we are different here.

I do agree with you on the immediate threats, real-time etc. where its just not possible for real-time police assistance.

However, for catastrophe protection, I would never assume the police would be able to help (in a timely manner) as they would be overwhelmed during the initial stages.
