Cops are just gangsters most people trust sadly. They are a protection racket that steals from you (taxes) and is actually not required to protect you at all.

If they were required to protect you, it would be better (not perfect, but better).

Alass, they have no duty to protect the people; Police Have No Duty to Protect the Public

What do you call taking someone’s money without their consent, using force/threat of violence?

Taxes pays my education and healthcare, it funds the military that makes russia think twice before invading my country, it builds and maintains all the roads and bridges I use every day to move around, it pays food and housing for the people that can’t afford that themselves.

I’m gladly paying taxes as long as it’s not all going to the pockets of corrupt politicans.

Listen, I hate cops too, but if you’re taking part in and benefitting from modern society, you’re gonna have to chip in for that convenience. If you don’t like it, live off the grid.
