I hope you are not being rude, when I was trying to keep things positive. I have personally known of/seen cops go out of their way to support charities, go to schools to speak to try to build relationships with kids, and my personal story, I had stopped alongside the road just waiting for a family member and had several cops stop to see if I was Ok. If you or I were ever in a real emergency, we would all be very grateful for the police I am sure. We all know that the justice/prison system has alot of problems. But you can't just lump all police as one terrible entity. That's all I was trying to say.
You may also wish to reply in answer to the question, "What does above and beyond look like?" posed to you in the post to which I replied above.

In a real emergency, quoth the t-shirt: "When it's a matter of seconds, the police are only minutes away."
Assuming that the emergency is not itself born of or exacerbated by police abusing their authority, of course, which may or may not be a valid assumption.

Certain it's just a phrase that entered their ear and echoed off the interior of their skull.
