In Texas we are large enough to realize that the police are not your true protection. I don't expect the police to show up at my house for at least 20 minutes after I call, due to the fact that they are 20 miles away usually. I have friends and family there, and they still can't make it in under 15 if they get the call.
20 minutes is dead/alive and long gone for most situations. I do not live in an urban setting, so rules for me are a little different that for some. Opinions are great, but they don't always fit. That is why we have lawmakers, judges, and police officers. They are there to sort it out.
Here in Texas, peace officers often times have less rights to do things that civilians. Other times, they have many more "rights". Circumstance defines the situation.
