Of course, we are a very pacifistic country. Even so, it's something to keep in mind. It's not always 'okay' to cuff people 'just in case'.
I was at work when I thought to ask if your comment is personal opinion or if you know some local LEOs? It would be interesting to know if they deal with things differently.

I used to hang out with some LLEO but got tired of their R&R/HA lifestyle - soapstone just made me sober which seemed a waste after all that expensive liquid intake... Not that I'd called them exemplar and the new force is much improved - I've actually seen female officers who don't have waistlines greater than their height; heck, even saw a foot patrol of three going by my estate last quarter.
