But, aren't human police bound by/to human constructs?

I've always wondered why the "Him", "He", turns "Cap H Christians" do it out of respect, not grammar. I've been reading about Haile Selassie, often referred to as "HIM" or His Imperial Majesty.

Sure, police are bound but human constructs, but they can also change them in a whim since they have power.

And yes, I do it out of respect and would never capitalize those pronouns for a mere human, king or not.
