The state has near unlimited financial assets compared to the individual but smaller, less organized insurgencies against tyranny (Iraq, Afghanistan, Vietnam) can and will whittle down on the more organized force. It sucks, it won't be a quick victory but if everyone on a block teamed up its typically enough to overwhelm a department's police force. Small towns usually have 30-50 police staff total. Cities 20k-80k cops, in the face of millions. The state needs us to work and pay taxes or they have nothing.
