Like I've said in the post that @BrianSoddingBoru4 deleted, I don't see how exactly police protects us. The police nearly always only comes after a psychopath has already murdered somebody. And then, nearly always, they put that psychopath not to a place where they will rehabilitate, but to a place from which they will return with even more psychological problems that made them murder in the first place. Once you think about it that way, it looks like the police is actually making us less safe, rather than protecting us.
Cops don’t actually make citizens less safe or more safe (study after study show that putting more cops on the street has no effect on crime rates).
But your complaint about cops only getting there after the fact is just plain dumb and stupid - that what cops are there for. I wouldn’t care to live in a society where the police arrested people before crimes were committed. And the police aren’t the ones putting psychopaths into prisons instead of hospitals, that’s done by judges and juries.

Then what's the point of the police? What are cops there for?
