I think it is no about confusion, but about mindset. They see people not as humans but as potential criminals and "work material", and see themselves as people who have power to do everything they want.
I.e. they do it because they can, and they have no problems with it. Even those who don't really have official power, like commercial security in shops or offices, often act similar way. Maybe it is about seeing yourself not equal than others in some perverted way, or just basic monkey instinct to use violence to establish yourself in hierarchy.
That is why it is better to avoid people who works in such professions (police, prison guards, etc) when you can, even if it is informal situation and they aren't at work - who knows what happens in their heads. I guess exceptions surely exist, and there must be good and humane policemen, but there is no way to distinguish between them and other types.
