Conchiglie is forbidden
Spaghetti and fusilli are ok
Farfalle, no
Novelty pasta penises, yes but only if you pretend they're religious hats

Any pasta that has joints in it: haram
Penne: haram
Other tubular pasta: halal (especially rigatoni)
Long pasta: halalness increases proportionally with flatness and width

Ego, impunity, and recklessness. A lot of US policing culture encourages officers to have wildly inflated egos about "don't disrespect the badge" and "we've got to maintain our authority", where the definition of "disrespect" ends up being "doing anything other than saying yes sir no sir three bags full sir", and "authority" means being able to force people to say "yes sir no sir three bags full sir" on (literally) pain of death.

Combine that with baked-in system flaws that discourage accountability and encourage circling the wagons when someone notices what's going on, and you get to a lot of officers with these inflated, fragile egos that can't stand being challenged in the slightest, and who think it's completely fine to splat people on the ground for talking back and then hold them in painful positions to punish them for their "disrespect", and aren't worried about seeing any kind of consequences for their actions.

This is also the quality that leads to one of the officers saying a few different variants of "shouldn't we move him off his front?", and the guy on his neck going "nope", and the matter just ending there. That particular wrinkle reminds me of nothing so much as the rash of planes falling out of the sky in the 1970s that led to the widespread adoption of pilots being trained to use Crew Resource Management; before then, the captain of a flight was God and usually had an ego to match.

A Good Post
