Apparently you are person with ideas about appropriate police behavior which differ from accepted standards. And, judging from the comments on this thread, you are not alone.

I find it surprising that people seem not to recognize that we have a system in which the idea is to divide the duties of apprehension of suspects, the determination of guilt, and the punishment of criminals between different sets of people, and that the system was set up this way for good reason.
