Do non-PIU cops attempt to arrest paranormal beings on their own often?
If so, how does it normally go?

Oh, I have some notes on this. ;)
AND HERE THEY ARE!
Crime in Victoria is still the main purview of the police force. The PIU need them as they do not have the power of arrest, only the power to detain. This accounts for dealing with people who are somehow abusing the paranormal arts in any way that is not allowed (such as practicing without a license). However, the police usually need the PIU to help detain paranormal threats outside of their scope.
As such, police are often working side by side with the PIU, along with emergency services and any other authorities as necessary.
There's some friction at times between authorities, as always. The Police and PIU are no different. And sometimes, as may be the case here, these patrol officers may have been too brash. Mary probably didn't appear threatening enough for them to back down. In fact, from where I looking, she seems almost as surprised as them... ;)

It does seem like an odd way for Mary to react. Sure, she may have punched Amir in the face the second time they actually met but she does seem to aim for a low profile. So weird in fact she seems to have taken herself by surprise...

I don't care if it's their job >:(, they wouldn't let her get one word in! I'd say Mary's in the right! Great perspective on the last panel as well, very cinematic

Interrupting policeman couldn't let it go. But how strange for Mary to react this way? And while I see lots of aftereffects from void powers, how come there's none of that around her? It's almost like... nah...
And yay, I'm so glad you like the panel! It was heck and dang to make! ^_^

So I immediately see an author issue here.
These are government employees so they should be mired in RED tape, not white! (Assuming that what picked them up is tape like of course!)

Hah! The author issue I think you're seeing is my need to practice the "wind effect" that comes into play as an after effect of Mary and Arir using their power. This is good feedback for me and I want to try and make it look more "windy" going forward. ^_^
(I did very much appreciate and enjoy your take on government employeest tape-situation though XD)

Hah, as always I deduct keen observational skills from your paragraphing. There's something afoul, for certain.
And yes, we are slowly creeping up on the disturbance from the beginning of the issue. This isn't the exact thing he saw, but we are getting there. Minute by minute now. ^_^

Literally walked right into it! And I do like the wind effects, keep them up

Hah, yes they did. In a way... ;)
And thanks Neil, I'm glad you like the wind effect. I guess we are Always our own toughest critics. I'm gonna try some stuff and see what comes out. I'm Always happy to take feedback though. It's part of the process I Believe. ^_^

If only it was so easy to deal with police in real life. XD
He did put his hands on her (shoulder), so maybe she can claim self defense.

Hah! Go the excessive force route? She may have another, more appropriate defense, at ther disposal. Coming up Sunday! ^_^
