I'm sorry but this is ridiculous. When police face a suspect they believe to be possibly dangerous they call on backup, and at least one officer is ready to draw and fire a weapon during a confrontation. I was picked up for a public intox and faced the same kind of procedure

I'm pretty sure it's standard procedure for a policeman to call for backup if he so much as sees a cockroach crossing the street.
I think the problem is just the attitudes of the cops. Cops don't smile anymore. They don't greet you. They assume everybody is dog shit beneath their shoes. Even when you're the victim, they can't be bothered to have a little warmth or sympathy.
They do everything by the book because they're more concerned with their employment than they are with actually helping people. If that weren't the case, they probably could've use common sense to handle the situation instead of focusing solely on escalation of force.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
