Why the difference?

Apparently the standard way in which the North Las Vegas police handle customers detained in the Cannery back room is to beat them before throwing them in jail and filing a false report:

I don't know why I had it so easy--after all, in addition to being "uncooperative" (as is said of the guy in this story), I was also "upset" and, worst of all, "verbal." If that doesn't deserve a beat-down, what does???

I feel like I got cheated out of the full Cannery/North Las Vegas Police experience to which I was rightfully entitled.
