It might be easier to think that in many ways governments are sort of like companies. Think of an airline where a flight is cancelled to the next day. First they say there’s nothing you can do too bad, then they’ll say you have to send an official note a special way to get it looked at, then they automatically reject you anyway, then you need to fight for it further and they might give a food voucher, etc etc.
Their goal is that whatever happens, try to minimise the cost for the the company (or in this case the government). Instead of it being about providing justice and making you whole. The added difference in this case is the police also has qualified immunity for extra safety from anything. And of course any insurance company would also do the same.
