This is a straw man: A police man can only ruin so many lives. He would have to be Santa Claus in order to harres the entire population of the US.

A policeman does not have the same impact over peoples lives as, eg., Jeff Bezos.

A policeman in my city could arguably have more impact on my life than Jeff Bezos does. What kind of impact do you think Jeff Bezos has exactly?

And obviously, a policeman is the lowest-power individual in this scenario - my city councilman probably has more impact than that.

It is because this debate is not about your life, but the life of the masses.
