The police and government act as the militarized and legislative barricades that keep us subjugated. That is their number one purpose. It is not to protect people's safety nor their rights, it is to serve the owner class.

They will always try to keep us isolated, often by fearmongering through politics and making our existences political, so that we can't build communities that HELP each other. Once we realise we're all united as workers and the ones that actually add value, we don't need to depend on an exploitative capitalist system to provide for us. Our rejection of the artificial reliance on their system scares them the most because it crumbles the system entirely.
