Another factor runs along similar lines: You are not comfortable with the idea of the police shooting a tranquilizer without ordering the the suspect to turn around because we have no methods of predicting a random suspicious person's violent tendencies without overt action.

Kogami to Akane: "If you don't like what I'm doing, shoot me."
Dominator's description of Masaoka: "Enforce at will."
The police are perfectly free to shoot the enforcers. As to why they do not: the same reason real world police do not immediately arrest informants, and the prosecutors give light plea bargains to them.
