A threat to freedom is merely an action taken by
another that significantly limits one's choices without need.
Obviously, a certain amount of limitation is needed - for example,
a police force to eliminate choices such as murder.
I agree with your perception of threats to freedom. There are a lot of things that "limit one's choices without need."

But your point about police is obviously not correct. Police don't eliminate murder. In fact, they often are vicious murderers themselves.
