..sort of..
I agree that is probably a civil dispute, but that doesn't help if the outcome is "violently arrest someone on camera"
What they are supposed to do is act with authority, use their position to resolve situations efficiently and rapidly. They almost always end up between unions and corps during strikes for example- and these sort of "civil" disputes often escalate into violence. So, solve it before it gets there.
