No harm is done to the people by cutting police. The REAL purpose of the police, FBI, etc., is not to protect the people. Instead, it is to protect banks and other large businesses and corporations and for the people to pay for their protection.

It the past it was very different. However, nowadays, if a bank calls, they get instant police protection and support. If you or I call the police, perhaps they will arrive in an hour but they won't do anything except make a report that is never looked at.
