It IS supposed to work BOTH ways, though ~

that's why a sheriff can appoint a posse and the citizens are responsible to appoint a sheriff.

Rest assured, when push comes to shove, it's going to be YOUR ass on the first line of defence,

for the simple fact that until the "order" is disrupted,

it's sort of "maintain"ing itself...

You're right, and I'm sure your knees are very pretty.

I would add that, while order is maintained, as you say, the police would feel no particular obligation to pick a side. They're as in love with their friendly, kitten-rescuing image as everyone else.

Until of course, they must pick a side.

And it won't be yours.
