As soon as your hands are on a police officer, you are just that close to being an armed suspect. That's a risk that always needs to be taken seriously. It's not remote at all, and the seriousness of the consequences that can result from things going south should be obvious.

Bang on. Police don't have the option of losing a physical confrontation.
