I personally don't like your suggestion in this case Caleb James DeLisle (npub1050…88up) because you're trying to do the job that the police refuses to do.
The root cause, city hall being soft on crime, isn't solved in this scenario. You just taxing the residents twice to NOT provide police protection.
Criminals, Thugs, thieves: punish them. Violent protests: shoot them and punish the ones that surrender.
You're right though, whites truly got soft being disconnected from nature (violence).
