“’Your right to request assistance from the cops just disappeared.’

‘Not sure that is a right, ie - life, liberty, pursuit of happiness... Just sayin.’”

The right to call for assistance from the police is a civil right, whereas what you list are natural rights. For me to be able to claim the former there needs to be a civil government in existence. For the latter there needs be nothing in existence but myself and God.
