While the police are not necessarily responsible for your PERSONAL safety, they create and environment in which you can REASONABLY provide for your own personal safety. Providing for your personal safety in a community where there is NO policing would be a very different matter. That's the issue with stating someone has "no use" for the police. Its unreasonable to say that when you live in a policed society. (I know you didn't state that, just addressing that piece of your argument)
I was trying, though, to get the argument back to the original topic, which was taping police officers while performing their duties....and the benefits of getting bad cops off the street...
It really is an image problem for police departments, and until they really do police themselves and stop encouraging and tolerating bad behavior, the public won't trust them and will tape them.
