A silly question

If union protesters turn violent — as they increasingly have — can you trust pro-union police to intervene?

Glenn Reynolds

I say it is a silly question because I don’t trust police to intervene in any situation, violent or otherwise. And especially not on my behalf or for my benefit.

Which is why, if I can’t avoid a dangerous situation, I act to end the situation as swiftly and with as little harm to my interests as possible.
