Even for middle class people, the police are basically there to file the paperwork you need to file insurance claims.

"Oh, somebody broke into your car and stole stuff? You shouldn't leave things lying around. We'll never catch the guy. Oh, you have video of the incident and know exactly who it is? Yeah, we can't really do anything with this. Oh you need to file a report for the insurance company? Fill this out and check back with us next month."

I'm very much NOT surprised that people who've actually needed the police for something have decided to there needs to be a private alternative.
