It honestly can be nerve-wracking to live here when you realize how easy it is to give the #BlueMafia 'cause' to fill you full of holes. We wouldn't have this issue if the Baby Boomers hadn't let the state grow to the disgusting proportions it has and refused to give up their right and responsibiilty to protect themselves and to defend their rights in exchange for complacent comfort.
I"m a white male but even I bristle and feel panic rise when I see one of these thugs behind me or sitting at an intersection. They need nearly no reason to initiate a stop and it is so easy for that to get out of control.
I do feel fortunate to live where I do, in Missouri. While we may have gotten attention for Ferguson and the metro areas may have some ugly incidents here and there(vastly less than more popular cities, mind you), the state is mostly rural and, as such, is one of the most 'free' states. It's so sparsely populated(without being barren of life) that it is less than a half an hour outside our biggest city before you feel like you're on the frontier.

All that said, aside from the government, particularly D.C. and the municipalities, the biggest problem we have are the 'legal' thugs that roam our streets in search of unarmed victims to extort or abuse to make them feel better for being useless pieces of shit and to try to establish some reason for their existence. I don't even give it a decade before the police here are so infused with apathetic, sociopathic retards that are convinced of their righteousness that we don't see outright rebellion. None of this dumbass BLM shit where people harass other people and do nothing to really press the real villains(the police and the state in general) but a rebellion the likes of which you expect to hear about in Eastern Europe and the third world.
