Actually, that is exactly how police are trained because the consequences for not going into a situation like that can be lethal. That doesn't mean they draw their guns and start giving commands. There is still obviously a use of force continuum. This continuum changes based on an infinite amount of possibilities ranging from actions of the perceived threat, environmental conditions, positioning, amount of training, officer ability, etc, etc, etc, etc.
