Anytime police have to use force they expose themselves to risk. This acts as a natural deterrent to some abuses that would otherwise happen. Chasing a speeding vehicle, pulling a large man out of the car, and subduing him is much more difficult than pressing a button and waiting for a dozen more police to arrive before surrounding him. The point is that, with force, police have to be sure that the suspect is worth it before they act, as even the possibility of this happening has to be considered.
