I know of one case in which there was an identified suspect where they said "what happened to you is unpleasant, but not a crime so there's nothing we can do" (it was defamation).
I have a friend teaching Crime Science at university who theorises that police get so cynical/ authoritarian from watching only crime and never its resolution, that they thing the justice system is entirely useless.
