My father was/is "old school", and shared the occasional story about when he and his coworkers would dole out some extra-judicial punishments when warranted, so he's not exactly the most Puritanical guy when it comes to matters of police abuses... but in every case, I could see where the rage came from and why it was meted out. (eg, pouring sand in the gas tank of a car that led them on a dangerous chase, etc. They would also do extra-judicial help, as well... letting drunks sleep it off and not recording the "arrest", etc.) These days, according to him, it's more like 'roid rage and demand for instant obedience than about righting wrongs.
He noted that today, it seems more like cops prefer to go after the easier targets, and leave the real community dangers untouched. He said his precinct would have been ashamed of itself if they ever let the real dangers simply go about their business when they were the only safeguard that the neighborhoods had. Sadly, most American men have been "civilized" by the feminist movement, and our hyper-lawyer-society has weeded out all individual judgement, so now cops care more about going home safely, and not following their conscience, than in making the neighborhoods safe.
Samuel Francis argued that the problems of managerial state extend to issues of crime and justice. In 1992, he introduced the word “anarcho-tyranny” into the paleocon vocabulary. He once defined it this way: “we refuse to control real criminals (that's the anarchy) so we control the innocent (that's the tyranny).” Francis argued that this situation extends across the U.S. and Europe. While the government functions normally, violent crime remains a constant, creating a climate of fear (anarchy). He says that “laws that are supposed to protect ordinary citizens against ordinary criminals” routinely go unenforced, even though the state is “perfectly capable” of doing so. While this problem rages on, government elites concentrate their interests on law-abiding citizens. In fact, Middle America winds up on the receiving end of both anarchy and tyranny.
