That's baloney. The police power flows from the individual's right to defend his own rights and to cooperate with others to do so. When the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few, the few can volunteer to help out or the many can offer something to compensate the few for helping out. But the many don't have the right to sacrifice the few whenever they decide it will hurt the few less than it will hurt the many. If anything, the law is all about opposing mob rule. Its interesting to note that in the following movie Kirk explains that he went back to find Spock because the needs of the few sometimes outweigh the needs of the many. All this really means is that an individual or a group can decide to help others when the value of the saved is clearly worth more to themselves than even a personal loss or even risk to one's own life.
