Sure but patrol officers lack the tactical training needed to engage suspects in this manner. Gung-ho behaviour like this gets civilians and officers killed.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.
Soldiers do this type of training day in and day out and it can still go to shit in a live situation. I bet cops do a bare minimum of tactical training. I did a lot of CQB training and it isn't easy.
I wasn’t speaking directly about the UPS incident, but I was tying to steer the conversation towards active shooter incidents, which for the past decade has been a big topic. Fair enough if you think police should not engage an armed person/people unless someone will imminently be murdered. But then the question arises: when is someone “literally about to be murdered”? Do you engage when a suspect shoots a civilian first? Or pointing a gun in a threatening manner?
Obviously regular patrol officers won’t have the advanced and ongoing training that SWAT teams do, but most departments now do active-shooter training these days because of all the shit going on world wide. Departments who issue AR-15 or similar assault rifles usually require regular training with it. About 30% of patrol officers in my dept are trained in UPR (urban police rifle) and take one out as an option. They have to qualify with it at the range monthly.

According to the report, all from a nothing situation, a woman sitting on the floor in an overcrowded waiting room. Ending with this escalation and one officer threatening the understandibly agitated bystanders with a taser.
The standard everywhere. If police brutalizes you, you'll get charged. Okay, this woman was lucky to get away with compensation and an excuse from the mayor. No witnesses, video footage, and media exposure, and it might have ended very differently for her.

One of our local cops tried to shoot a homeless man's dog 15 secs after arriving on scene to the arrest. The dog is right in front of him yet he misses and manages to hit two people with shrapnel.

The state of that tweet.
I thought their job was to protect the interests of the 1%
The 1% have their own security like that guy Bloomberg who said we don't need guns for protection but he has 5 armed body guards.

I knew this would be the update as soon as I saw this thread on the main page. What can you even say other than it's fecking disgusting. Will never happen to a white kid acting a fool. Hell, I grew up in Hawai'i schools and we were all very crazy. Even the big Samoan kids who would threaten teachers never had police called on them. Teachers just called the even bigger Samoan security guards to take them and it was generally peaceful process.
The actual feck, why would the school call the police instead of her parents? Are there not rules for arresting someone that young? Insane
fecking bastard cnuts, make my blood boil
There are rules and the officer was fired for breaching them. You're supposed to get special permission to arrest anyone under 12.
It was for the coppers own safety.

Later, Turner bragged about the number of people he had arrested in his career—6,000 people, including children as young as 7, he said. When one of the employees pointed out Kaia was 6 years old, Turner responded: “Now she has broken the record.”

Christ on a bike. How does someone like that get in a position of power.
Sometimes it's difficult to discern the difference between police officers and a gang of thugs:

Why do they all come sprinting to the scene like there is a murder taking place?
Power, eh. Goes to people's heads far too quickly.

Those videos anger me so much that i always regret watching them.
Had to stop watching. The injustice is too much.
What the feck is wrong with these people. It's a single kid. These cops should be tied to a rocket and shot into the sun.

Full thread with additional videos. Makes me sick just watching this stuff, bastards.
Like Ice Cube said punk mofo with a badge and a gun
Look at those pigs trying to jostle in on the action so they can beat up a kid for fun.
This cop doing a good job. Guy was an absolute divvy, ringing cardi b thinking he’d get away with it 
What else is new. Cops are fecking psychos. Look at this shit. "Bad apples", feck off. Its endemic. This is who they are. These people deserve nothing but contempt.
clearly that young kid has some freakish strength as they all struggle with him, but the cop right at the end who tries to stamp on his ankle should be thrown in jail more than any of them.
