Protect the rights of people who own property. As those are the people supposedly paying property taxes which pays the salaries of the cops.
The anti-violence laws are just to work around the fear that they reasonably have that other people will probably want to brutally attack them for the shit they have done.
Yes but even if we had perfectly just laws (we don’t); we still would not have a justice system but a slightly more fair legal system (which by definition would always favor the powerful over the vulnerable).
If we are to choose laws, we best choose laws that limit harm by badly behaved individuals but don’t limit the actions of those who are reasonable and considerate of others.

So poor => no justice
Have money => better not hurt you
Do you have any thoughts on what purposes laws should serve?
