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.

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.
Civil Forfeiture is theft and Qualified Immunity is a murder license. Not that there seems to be any way to convince anyone in power to fix it
