Police choose to be police, aren’t many of the Russian soldiers drafted or forced to serve at this point?
You are correct, many of them conscripted, and even those who was on contract before after mobilization started their contracts became perpetual.
And police not only choose to be police, but also choose to beat students.

But prisoners get sent to war…
I don’t know much about Russian prisons, but I might take my chances on the battlefield and try escaping.
That is, unless you have family, in which case I wouldn’t put it past them to force compliance by threatening your family. I would probably serve “loyally” if not doing so meant my family would be thrown in torture prison for life or killed.
I’d consider the play to be get drafted, go AWOL, personally.
Easier to say than do, of course.
