Their purpose is to “maintain peace”. That is for the greater good of society, not to save a particular individual from a crime in progress.

It’s the same with public health measures during the pandemic: they were not trying to save each individual, but to reduce the overall death count. If you look at it through those lenses, it becomes understandable why they lied about not needing masks and then mandating masks.
