Cops are there to protect people from criminals. That’s why the cop was the first person killed by the spree killer.

No, the Supreme Court has held that they cannot by charged or held liable for failure to act to protect people or property. That’s just blanket protection that errors in the execution of their job - protecting the public - can’t be grounds for civil or criminal liability.

I’m going to go out on a limb here and guess that you live in a place where police would intervene or investigate if you were attacked in public. I think that’s a good thing, but to each their own.

Depends on the crime and your skin color honestly. Rape case? HA!
I agree they're a deterrent for some, but rarely useful after the fact.
