ya but they didn't show up till buddy was dead, so other then hauling away the corpse what was really accomplished? It is not like they prevented anything from happening. The police are there to scare honest people not criminals. Criminals never weigh the consequences of there actions, only honest people do. If you decide tomorrow to buy a gun and shoot someone that has been pissing you off, what are police going to do? Try and find you to arrest you right? But what about the guy that is dead? Doesn't help him out to much, if you asked him what he thought of the police he would probably agree with you about police being useless.
The reason there useless is because they do not prevent. The thing that stops you and I from going out and killing someone IS NOT the police right? it is the fact that killing someone or other things that are against the law are usually pretty bad things that we wouldn't do because of our morals in the first place. I mean what are your friends and family going to think after you killed someone? Most people do not need police because they are not screwed up enough to do run around doing insane stuff all the time. The police just try and stop people who KEEP breaking the law. But think about it, wouldn't justice happen automatically without the police? If you killed someone for no reason and there was no such thing as police, do you think society would still accept you or do you think that karma would catch up with you despite the lack of police and you would still get whats coming to you no matter what? That is what is really comes down too.
