The solution they sometimes offer is shocking - "Don't arrest them, kill them". In other words, they prefer extreme brutality to an "appearance" of legal(istic) impropriety.

That reminds me of an event that happened in Portland twenty or thirty years ago. Police officers were severely disciplined because a subject they arrested was injured (killed?? I don't remember) when they put a choke hold on him because he started acting up.

Other officers were upset about this discipline so they had some T-shirts made up that said DON'T CHOKE 'EM, SMOKE 'EM.

Whereupon the officers who had the T-shirts made up were also disciplined.
