Police Protection Part 2
So we are not going to provide full protection. Nope. Yes ultimately personal protection falls to the individual. Which is why I am a member of the NRA and a strong supporter if the 2nd Amendment.
I always encourage people to get a concealed carry permit. I also stress that they make sure they understand what constitutes self defense and justifiable homicide (which isn't the same as murder) in the state of Idaho. The use of deadly force is no joke and it isn't to be taken lightly.
One last thing. A few years ago we recieved some intell that a contract had been put out on one of our detectives. There was reason to believe that it was legit.
Guess what? He wasn't provided with a protection detail. He told his neighbors and asked them to be on the lookout for anything suspicious. He carried all the time and an investigtion was initiated. He's still here. So even cops don't get special protection.
