I see at least three catches here, and all of them taken from the basic guide
Good doesn’t mean “humane”.
Lawful doesn’t mean “thoughtful”.
A demon that follows an moral code of conduct that is immoral by our standards is still canonically lawlful good by theirs. The nature of a fervorous Paladin is a matter of perspective.
Lawful nor Good mean “non-violent”.
I don’t need to explain this part. A Paladin is… Sometimes less a matter of perspective.
As an example, in the Movie Rabbit Proof Fence, the villain is a British Guy who falls, by his perspective, Lawfully Good. For reference, the movie starts with him doing a presentation on Eugenics and how he can save the “aboriginal people” through race mixing. Him mandating the two girls kidnapped from their village was entirely lawful. He really thinks he’s doing good and he does not at any point play dirty with those close to him to get what he wants. His biggest issue was being born in the wrong place, at the wrong time with the wrong people, with the wrong amount of scrupulosity.
I don’t know how, but you probably did more damage here than even some other more aggressive responses. I think you just indirectly turned every government inherently authoritarian, albeit with society still functional. Because the lawmakers everywhere will catch on to how the cops function, and any semblance of progressive thought would soon stop developing.
Police to always be lawful good
Teen suicide rate multiplies after the police destroy youth culture with constant surveillance.
