I live in an upper-middle class neighborhood, and normally I'd agree - most would not resist at the time but rather lawyer-up and sue the city blind.

But in a community-disaster scenario people are going to be nervous and on edge, and if the front door gets kicked in they're going to shoot first and ask questions later (and that's legal in Texas).

In a blue-collar neighborhood where crime is a problem in the best of times it's worse yet.
