I mean, it's your choice to make it violent. They should be able to counter _your_ threat of violence effectively, but violence is not the default way that someone gets taken to jail. Ultimately, the law is based on threat of punishment, which can come in many forms. For a lot of us here on HN, being violently thrown into a squad car is less threatening than having your career put into jeopardy by having a mark on your record.
