You do realize that if someone is going to mug you and pop a couple caps in your ass, that they are just going to do it, and there probably isn't going to be a cop right there to save the day, right? Also, that when all is said and done, reporting to the cops is going to get you pretty much fucking nowhere, as they rarely solve many of these case in the first place...

Here is the difference. If there were no cops. I mean zero cops. We would have one of two things happening. Either total anarchy or marshal law. Maybe you think that people would carry guns and protect themselves in some kind of old west romantic way, but if there was no law enforcement there is nobody to stop people from bashing your door in, killing you and your family and taking everything from your house. Why wouldn't they, there are not cops to arrest them, without any type of law enforcement why even have laws? It wouldn't be long before we looked like some of these fucked up third world countries with warlords owning and running certain areas.
I'm not saying everyone would do this, most people probably wouldn't, but those that would do these types of things would have very little resistance.
You are right, there are not cops around everyone 24/7 and you are not guaranteed anything. You could get shot walking into a store, but the idea that the police are around and if you commit a crime you may well get caught and punished helps to curb the amount of crime that actually exists. If you have not cops and no threat of ever getting caught or punished for doing a crime, things would get very ugly very quickly.
