I can't speak for every situation but it's worth keeping in mind that police inaction can be a result of specific policies placed on police departments by the city or state. For example, up until recently, San Francisco only allowed officers to engage in vehicle pursuits in the case of violent felonies and Governor Newsom is still asking Oakland to amend their own No Chase restrictions. If elected officials tell cops not to engage in certain policing actions, I would hope that law enforcement officers would hew to those rules pretty closely
