So everything or nothing? Sounds like a false dilemma.

Another problem with this decision-making approach is that anything can be un/justified simply by changing the unspoken timescale at which you measure outcomes.

On a short timescale, a knife stabbed into my gut should stay, because removing it will cause blood-loss.

However on a longer timescale where I'm in the hands of some doctors with bandages, it should absolutely be removed...

No, I think you’re missing the idea that this is a thought exercise to test the statement of police being “overall” bad.

You live in a leaky tent with a lot of holes in it.

Someone suggests you'd be better in a house.

"Imagine where I would be without the tent! This is a thought experiment to test the statement of 'this tent being overall bad'. Therefore I won't move."
