Preventing crime and defending the authority of the state are quite different.

Plenty of protests that challenge the authority of the state are completely legal. The state will not lose much authority if laws broken behind the front door of a family go unpunished.

Most of us here are lucky enough to live in a country where the laws were written for more than maintaining the authority of the state.

Police act as the enforcement wing of the judicial system.
