Or should the military be called instead of the police if there is a riot?

We've pushed so many societal problems into the police and they are not properly equipped to deal with them. Redirect those resources to social workers, non profits, organizers, etc. We militarize the police and then make them respond to everything, and, well, when your only tool is a hammer...
Alert all police, surround the area as quick as possible and block as many roadways as possible , and send out amber alerts to all citizens until the child is found...
Or call a social worker and hope they can find the child?
What should Americans do when a hostage situation occurs? Call the police and SWAT team with negotiator thereby giving the hostages the best chance for survival by setting up a proactive and defensive effort,
Or call just the negotiator alone and hope words are enough?
What should Americans do if their car is stolen and they have a ring doorbell that caught it on tape?
Give it to the police so they can retrieve his car and charge the thief? Or go get their brothers and a few friends to get it back with chains and bats in their hands?
The police are needed because without them, people handle the problem themselves. And everyone has a different on how far street justice should go.
