Don't worry about the edits, I said I'm not looking to debate anymore unless someone can point to actual harm in waiting and ensuring he isn't able to flee and it doesn't seem like you've come up with a reason. Which there is none. So we're good. I appreciate the responses, but like I said, no one will ever convince me that police shouldn't have public safety as their top priority.

That's fair, I'm not disagreeing with public safety being #1, and am certainly not constructing arguments to refute that.
I just think people are human, and as much as we try and have a step-by-step process to deal with everything, I don't think things go according to plan everytime. From what I saw, I thought the intention was there to preserve public safety, but perhaps there were things that could have been done differently. Can't say I'm a huge fan of the F-bombs, but I really think there is more that we have not seen.
On, a different note, I think this is interesting:

By contrast, more than a dozen other democracies generally do not arm their police with guns and may instead rely on firearm-equipped teams that can respond to high-risk situations.
