The guns in the US are largely owned by the same faction that supports and is executing the excessive police violence (and which gets a free pass for violent protest while the opposing faction is violently suppressed even when peacefully protesting); it's also the faction that has provocateurs actively creating violence around the current protest to create cover for violent “responses”.

In Couer D'Alene conservative open-carry volunteers protected the protests and prevented any violence and confrontation from breaking out.
If there is to be an alternative to the distant and aloof police state, it will have to be in the form of attentive and caring locals possessing sufficient enforcement power.

I guess it could be way more people carrying guns, but eventually the police will start treating white people with guns like they treat black people (an excuse to kill them because the felt threatened). But the probably far more likely way to change policing is getting control of police forces,firing the cops, reconstituting them with real oversight and no special immunity.
