This strategy seems like the good cop vs. bad cop strategy. The Bad Cop yells, threatens, and beats, the Good Cop appeals to the reasoning that you don't want to deal with the Bad Cop so you should talk to the Good Cop, but both Cops want you in jail.

You can go hard, or easy, but the results will be the same.
