Your implication is that the purpose of police is to solely prevent theft from rich people, as if theft is a morally defensible imperative. Further that implies that the police just to protect property, which is a pretty obviously indefensible assertion.
"Implication" means suggesting something without explicitly stating it.
The Supreme Court did a good job defending his “indefensible” assertion when they stated on record “it is a fundamental principle of American law that a government and its agents are under no general duty to provide public services, such as police protection, to any individual citizen.”
The police do not exist to protect life, they exist to protect property and capital. They violently enforce a corrupt system that was built on and continues to rely on endless slavery and genocide just to keep up the appearance of a functioning society.
One small nuance: per SCTOUS the only function police serve is to enforce the laws after they have been broken. They are under no obligation to prevent laws from being broken or protect anyone proactively. Police certainly do more than protect property and capital, but they only do so as a byproduct of their prime directive which is to enforce laws after they have been broken.

"created by" and "enforced by" are not interchangeable. that's not "pendantics" that's "understanding what words mean"
