Me:  I can see giving the Aurors those powers under the 
circumstances.  We had an unfortunate incident in my town a week ago 
where an officer was forced to kill when he was attacked.  If Aurors, 
as trained law enforcement officials, are not given this authority, 
the attacking DE has all the advantages.  It would be like sending a 
cop to a drug bust with no gun.

I agree that the cruciatus is unnecessary, but the imperius could 
come in very handy, and be useful in avoiding using the AK, assuming 
the DE can't shake it off. ("I said, <imperius> 'come along quitely, 
Mr Death Eater'").

Just my thoughts on the subject,
