People have this misconception that it is the law enforcement role to protect life and property and it is not.
In the case of a middle of the night break-in, I don’t think anyone believes this. Wouldn’t the only way police could protect you if a thief broke into your home while you slept, is for an officer to be posted in every home, and catch the thief in the act? Otherwise police will always arrive long after the crook is gone, right?
