And if he wasn't...? In the meantime backup has arrived, blocked in the vehicle and removed the threat to public safety if he decides to drive off. Still ends up a win.
Do you disagree with de-escalation requirements that explicitly require police to give time, instead of pressing issues? Not just training that every single one will tell you to be patient and slow down the situation, but I mean actual requirements like those in Seattle?
