That's a fair point, and I'm not arguing people should rely solely on police for their personal security. I'm more pointing out that it's clearly correct and appropriate to report crime when your safety is in danger; tha

No, because then you're dividing the resources allocated to the function among the existing run + the new run. If you over-allocate ahead of time to accommodate for this, you might as well just run ordinary VMs, which always have exces
