#itachi is fully convinced of his words but we know he dislikes violence

The Uchiha Police.

Alright, checking with you all (poll at the end).

This panel from chapter 222 states that "ANBU is under Lord Hokage's direct control... Even we can't arrest him without a warrant."

Fugaku specifically adds that Itachi is in ANBU before explaining "Even we can't arrest him without a warrant". Does this imply that citizens who are not in ANBU can be arrested without a warrant? For negligible reasons?

Because, right before this happens, Yashiro Uchiha insinuates that they'd be willing to send Itachi (who is 11-12 years old at the time) to prison for "speaking nonsense". Tekka calls it "insolence". Inabi joins in as well.

And then what's bailing Itachi out of this is apologizing for his remarks and not for anything else that took place.

To clarify, I am aware that Itachi first attacked them (albeit provoked) and threw a kunai at a wall. But what concerns me here is that of all things, all three cops choose to focus on Itachi's "insolence" of all things. Even Itachi himself seems to understand that what aggravated the three officers were not his other offenses but his remarks about the clan (little bit of ramble in the tags to further explain this).

If you have an entirely different or nuanced opinion, feel free to comment. But screenshotting and then blocking to disagree in a separate post is an obvious no-go.
