In the ultimate sense, police only have one real function...to prevent society from killing off it’s deviants.

That is a very insightful comment.

I'd be a lot happier with far fewer cops, and a society more open to having local citizens deal with local problems. I'm pretty sure society would be a lot more polite and civilized.

That's understandable because without and deviants, there would be no need for police. My feeling is a lot of what cops do today is designed to propogate the need for (more) cops. They exist for the benefit of themselves.
