Traffic policing is not a bandwidth reservation; therefore it doesn't
have anything to do with the interface bandwidth nor the percentage that
can be allocated.

As a side note, you can change the amount of reservable bandwidth on an
interface with the 'max-bandwidth-percent' interface command. See the
following link for more detail:
