Down go the fighting drunks, on go the cuffs, and then the tossing (none too gently) into the back of a cruiser or paddy wagon .... then off to the tank for the night.

More likely to be the health & safety aspect, they might get a good brayin' if they step in between brawling drunks, better waiting until they,ve beaten each other half to death then nip in sharpish & nick em.
The police brutality issue doesn't really bother them I don't think as there's usually enough coersion on the villain to make him see the incident as being his own fault & that he brought it on himself, or should someone be foolish enough to pursue the issue, the "old contemptibles" will close ranks.
Don't get me wrong there's some good decent Coppers out there trying to do the right thing, but the press doesn't report the day to day stuff just the Headline grabbers, but you get a Copper doing a naughty They're all over it.
