The cops are "so close"

"So many police out there they actually hear the shots, alot of times when they're fired they're able to respond quickly" - reporter Darcy Spencer quoting Chief Lanier; talking about the increased police presence in DC.

So if they are responding that fast and they're still finding bodies at the crime scene, then why trust your life solely to them? It is still up to you to protect yourself until police get there.
