I'm not saying that LE is perfect. There are a lot of crooked cops and cops that don't do things by the books. However, to consider anyone with a badge a member of "organized crime" is a bit far fetched.
As far as I'm concerned there was nothing wrong with the actions of the police given the circumstances. I also have to agree with baddog, they did waste a day on this asshole.

Trust of law enforcement is earned, not dictated. Respect is commanded, not demanded.
If you feel it's "far-fetched" then take your pick: Either they are organized crime thugs that decided this man's life was not worthy of a trial he is entitled to, or they are completely and utterly so incompetent that 30-40 supposedly "trained" police cannot manage to successfully arrest one man with a prop sword who has nowhere to run. Which do you prefer? And do you really want either one in a position of enforcement and public trust?
