Those disks are the coils of wire. It's where the wire from her wrists come from. All the metalbending police have them (noticeable in episode 1). Anyway I think the reason why the police are only using wires and the like is for the same reason they arrested Korra in episode 1. Bending earth and metal around the city would cause structural damage that would have to be paid for. It's not like in The Last Airbender, where structural damage would count towards collateral and therefore less of an issue due to wartime measures. It's been proven that there's most definitely a lot of bureaucracy in place in Republic City.
