In some respects yes, the RUC had a well documented reputation for physically torturing, demeaning and humiliating suspected terrorists, in that scenario it's almost similar. The IRA, UVF, UDA and LVF also had/have reputations for torturing "prisoners", the IRA generally reserved it for suspected touts, the UVF at one point delighted in torturing any catholic they could get their hands on (Shankill Butchers) but that's a little different, you almost expect this sort of behaviour from terrorists, you don't except it from the state.
