In reply to the discussion: Almost got arrested yesterday by pissed off cops. [View all]Red Mountain
(1,730 posts)38. Good read of the situation
Sounds like the cops felt like they had the situation under control well enough to start looking around to try and extend that control beyond the suspect at hand.
Maybe they were concerned for your safety......but that's YOUR choice, not theirs.
Even being in the picture would force them to deescalate rather than risk harm to bystanders.
Probably not their first choice. They would prefer to have complete freedom to choose their own ending.
I think you made a difference.

For large cities I fully support such a change though I dont think it needs to be applied to small
