Tax payers don't care enough to force the congress critters to change the laws in <your home state>.

Instead, you get human beings who are shielded by a thin piece of paper who can summarily execute you, then say "whoops, my bad".

Police are nothing more than State-sponsored gang members.

Many of those tax payers are fine with them being gang members, but only against "others" -- that's a feature, not a bug.

Sometimes very literally:

State (any country, since the birth of monarchies) is the gang. It literally robs you ("taxes"), monopolized violence (only state is allowed to utilize it). But if it does a poor job at that, other states swoop in with their rules, no invitation needed.
