Sheriff calls on public to arm itself for protection

This is one Sheriff that is telling the truth that most people don't want you to hear:
"Milwaukee County Sheriff David A. Clarke Jr. set off alarm bells Friday with a radio spot some view as a call for citizens to arm themselves. In the radio ad, Clarke tells residents personal safety isn't a spectator sport anymore, and that "I need you in the game."
"With officers laid off and furloughed, simply calling 911 and waiting is no longer your best option," Clarke intones. "You could beg for mercy from a violent criminal, hide under the bed, or you can fight back." Clarke urges listeners to take a firearm safety course and handle a firearm "so you can defend yourself until we get there."
"You have a duty to protect yourself and your family. We're partners now. Can I count on you?"
"
...
"
Asked about Clarke's assessment of 911, James Fendry, director of the Wisconsin Pro Gun Movement, said, "It's never been a great option (calling 911). Unless you can take care of yourself, you're kind of SOL."
Fendry, a former police officer, said that he tells citizens, "You're not armed to be law enforcement. You're armed to protect your own life and the lives of your family until law enforcement arrives. Do not go on search and destroy missions in your home."

Did this cop miss the skyrocketing gun sales? People are already armed to the fucking teeth.
Just watch and see, he'll change his tune to save his career when one of his cops gets capped. He's just another full of shit Teabagger.

Wrong. There has never been a case of a law abiding citizen shooting a police officer...never. The police would be much safer if law abiding citizens could shot back at the bad guys and take a few of them off of the streets. Hell if every law abiding citizen could shoot back the bad guys would be out numbered and soon would be forced to move back to the liberal cities where guns for good guys are banned.

Actually the Sheriff was simply recognizing the factual information developed from response time statistics for the past year for the local police. Those show that you are, essentially, on your own.
I don't remember the exact times but the response time for a 911 call involving a burglary or a rape were both in the range of 30 minutes.
Remember, 'When you absolutely need a cop RIGHT NOW, help is only minutes away'

That's the entire point - people think, have been taught by liberals, that cops are there to protect them, that cops can magically appear when called to stop the rape, attack, assault, break-in, etc.... it's just not true, and their first job, when arriving, is to make sure that THEY, the COPS, are safe.
Personal safety has always been about you being able to protect yourself, not waiting on someone to come write a report. Remember, Cops respond in 11:35 minutes, a 9mm responds at 1135 fps.

Some interesting information for those that believe in Gun Control and those that believe the Cops are there to protect you:
FBI Statistics:
2,600,000 home invasions 2011
Equals a home invasion every 12 seconds
3.5 million burglaries per year reported
Each year 13% of homes are burglarized
19.2% of rental properties are burglarized per year
85% of all break-ins are through the door
67% of all burglaries involved forcible entry
38% of all assaults occur during a home invasion
60% of all rapes occur during a home invasion
70% of burglaries involve residential properties
Burglaries happen between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m.
Home Invasions happen between 6 p.m. and 6 a.m.
FBI stats show only 12% - 13% of burglars are ever apprehended. [1]
United States Bureau of Justices Statistics:
Titled "Percent distribution of incidents where police came to the victim, by police response time and type of crime":
Crimes of Violence:
Within 5 minutes 31.0%
Within 6 - 10 minutes 24.5%
Within 11 minutes - 1 hour 32.4%
Within 1 day - 6.5%
Longer than 1 day - 1.9%
Time of response not known - 3.6%
Not ascertained - 0.2%
So, according to the FBI and USBJS, you're very likely to be involved in a crime where someone confronts you and it's more than likely that the police won't be there in time to save you.

"Shoot first, ask questions later" is the police motto that is not privy to the media.
Police carry guns to PROTECT THEMSELVES, that is the bottom line and an ugly fact people don't want to acknowledge.
Unless and until every other person is a law enforcement officer, you have the right and the duty to protect yourself and your loved ones, period, end of discussion.
If for one second you think law enforcement is to protect you and your loved ones, you are wrong and will be dead minutes before law enforcement arrives.
Criminals are becoming bolder and bolder, breaking into houses while occupied, raping and killing occupants, stealing valuables and are gone long before law enforcement arrives.
Leroy is 100% correct with his statistics. :o

Absolutely true! 99% of the time police arrive to document what happened, the perps are long gone. Ask any police officer and they'll tell you, at home they keep a gun with a round chambered and ready to go, the 911 call they make for help will be after they've take care of businesses.
People have this false sense of security that a phone is all they need for protection, that if they can dial 911 before the bad guy gets to them, all will be well. Every law abiding citizen needs a gun, they need to know how to use it and they need to understand how to keep it ready to rock and roll while at the same time be mindful of keeping it away from children. They now make gunvaults that open in 2 seconds, you should have a round chambered and safety off (better yet by a gun without a safety, they can foul you up in panic) when you put it in the vault.

Estimates say that there are 425,000 forcible rapes per year in the USA.
Only one in ten is reported to the police, that means that the police are there to protect the woman less than 10% of the time, and we know it's less because that 10% is just the number reported to the police - where the police are involved. We can estimate that the police stop less than 1% of all rapes.
A study from the 1990's concluded that 650 rapes per day were stopped because the woman was armed.
A study of prisoners indicates that more than 3600 rapes per day were never attempted because the woman either showed a gun or said she had one or the rapist thought the woman had a gun.
So, there you go, cops can't protect women from rape, but women can, with a gun or the rapist thinking the woman has a gun....
According to the data, guns help women prevent 1.3 million rapes per year.

Liberals want to take the woman's right "not to be raped" away from her, after all worse case she can always get an abortion. They consider women who want the right to protect themselves as right wing tea baggers. The bitch just needs to submit.

If a violent thug with a history of violence and reported drug issues had not attacked an innocent man, that man would not have to suffer with the pain and image of having to use deadly force to defend his life.
