I think the ability to take an approach that time and resource intensive is made possible by the fact it happens so seldom.

- vidarh 9y agoI don't think that makes sense, because resorting to violence so often ends up escalating conflicts to ridiculous levels. De-escalating these conflicts costs more resources in the initial response, but tends to make most conflict end quickly. Importantly it also gives criminals a very strong reason to avoid being pulling weapons at police - they can be confident police will not arm themselves first, and will not escalate a situation unnecessarily.
