Typical of today's news media.

the chief of police came to the locker room to apologize and ask if we'd like to file a formal complaint. We declined.

Very wise.

Most LEO's I have found to very helpful and cooperative over the years. There is the odd duck who wants to be chummy with the crowd. Those are usually the local, GOB, deputy who doesn't take his job very seriously in total.

Police: Two referees arrested at Mandeville-St. Paul's game | wwltv.com New Orleans

From the police version of what happened, at least one officer looks like a prick. "You do your job and I'll do mine" is not an appropriate response to being told you're not properly doing your job by the person who's ultimately responsible.

Granted the officials could have taken a much better approach. None of what's been reported would appear to justify an arrest.

Sounds like an easy lawsuit to win, if that's true.

No way they'll win a judgment. Defense will settle, and it will never see a courtroom.
