Cops aren't made of sugar, a little water won't hurt... I've got a lot worse things thrown at me.
You don't have to arrest someone on the scene to lay charges. It's on video. They've been ID'd. They can be picked up anytime when the odds are in the police's favor.
Why rush into a scene that will turn into a full-blown riot when you don't have to?
Grab them later.
Work smart, not hard.
You have a point. Them sheriffs here have that down to a science. They can swoop in 20 deep, no exaggeration, grab a dude, and be gone in 2 minutes. Probably less.
I've seen it happen and was like "WTF?!"
One of the coolest new tactics I've seen is paint ball guns for riot situations. Instead of rushing into a mob and risking officer (and public) safety by trying to grab a violent offender. You light him up with a paint ball. It shows up great on the high def video. You mark him, identify him, and get him when the crowd thins out and it's safe to do so.
Would a bullet to the head not sufficiently mark for them retrieval later?
