11. WAIT. Just let time elapse.

LEOs seem to have no sense of time. You don't have to storm in a "fix" to situation in 10 seconds. Once the assaulter realizes the cops are there, changes occur. WAIT.

Merely surrounding. Wait 1 hr, 3 hrs, 1 day. Inexpensive. Comando mentality and lack of patience causes many tragedies.

[Obviously in cases of on-going violence once the cops arrive, waiting doesn't work. These cases are rare.]
