Lisa Simpson nailed it about why our society has police...
"Mom, I know your intentions are good but aren't the police the protective force that maintains the status quo for the wealthy elite? Don't you think we ought to attack the roots of social problems instead of jamming people into overcrowded prisons?"

This is from The Springfield Connection, the episode where Marge joins the Springfield Police...it's from 1995.
