Not sure why you're getting downvoted - it seems that many people fall to the fallacy of what they think is true, must be so.

They're getting downvoted for being deliberately obtuse.
I'm not being obtuse. I'm asking for documentation of a specific, unambiguous claim in the form of a link to a statute in a particular state which provides for different levels of lawful force in effecting an arrest for police in contrast to other citizens. Provide such a link and I'll acknowledge that I was incorrect.
Yes, you're being obtuse. You're asking for something you know is not codified, but is very real in practice.
Come on now. I'm asking for something that was purported to exist. If it doesn't, fine, but don't change the discussion to something else.
