Correct---except the part about LE standing down. In blue areas, we know this is true, but we've already seen LE in red areas back the citizenry and vice-versa.

Most little rural towns have few officers on duty at a given time. The little town nearest to the farm I grew up on has a population of less than 2,000 and has a total of three LEOs. All three of them on duty vs 100 of these guys...they would stand down and call for backup from all the other little towns like them and maybe get 5-10 guys total.
