In Canada I guess they are fine with cops beating up the elderly.

Unpopular Opinion: De-funding cops is good.It would force people to start caring about them selves, their neighborhoods and families by making them defend them selves.

That's the thing. We in red rural areas respect the police as they respect us, and for the most part, almost never have to get super serious in their jobs, because our areas are usually free of crime to a degree. Simultaneously, our areas are far more armed, to a point that if truly needed, we could defend ourselves without police, or even against police. This mutual understanding is key to a polite society.
The only situation where I saw that this didn't happen was in a crazy mass-shooting/homicide event in rural Ohio.
Some dude went on a rampage, going from place to place and killing people, I think it was a family dispute or something. They had to call all the local, county, and a fuck-ton of state police to go hunting for the guy.
Neighborhood militias, hell yeah.
Where do I sign up for this level of trust in a community?
Honestly? Start getting to know your neighbors. Doesn’t take more than 2 minutes to drop subtle hints about what “side” they are on.
Start going to the range together, etc. people who are into guns are in it for the protection and you quickly learn who will have your back.
