No doubt about it

You couldn't be more wrong. The only need we have for police is traffic enforcement. Out here in the sticks, we occasionally get people that believe that there are no speed limits. The stupid part is that they sometimes become predictable. For example, we had a guy that would fly down our road and blow the stop sign down at the corner cross roads every day at about the same time. After a few times of this, we called the sheriff and he had a deputy set up waiting for him. I took about 1 or 2 days and he was stopped. Haven't seen him since. 

I highly doubt it. If needing more government is important to city folk, why do "Defund the police" movements come from big cities? The whole thing doesn't make much sense after a cursory review.

Urban gangs prefer pistols, and maybe the occasional Mac.  They fire pretty much randomly large quantities of wasted ammo.  I can't see how many of them would be well trained in shooting, and evidence says most are not.  Spray and pray.

Hunters and the like would take them out at long range if it came to it, meaning anything over 50 meters really.  So yeah, they are not well trained and their arms are not useful in a real fight.

You do realize that law enforcement is simply one aspect of things funded by government don't you? They are not asking for a cut in spending, they want that money to go to other social programs to prop up their lives.

We don't go out looking for fights or committing crimes. We just take care of ourselves and our neighbors. As I said, the violent gangs and thugs would not last long here.
