This is where mental health professionals would be valuable. Bring in people with specific training for dealing with these satiations. The police appear to have carried out their training.
But in general yes, you wait as long as necessary because you can always shoot him later before the public is threatened again.
These are sad situations which should be preventable. Figuring out how should be a priority.
