Captain: "What we have here is a failure to communicate. Some men you just can't reach. So you get what we had here last week, which is the way he wants it... well, he gets it. I don't like it any more than you men."
One of my favorite movies! Seems appropriate here... Was Loxas some petty miscreant or a total menace to society? It seems Peters was fairly sure. As for police framing this, I'd bet they put the best spin on it they could but I doubt they manufactured anything. This guy gave them plenty to work with all on his own.
