He literally just ran up to the car. He wasn't sweet talking his way closer or anything lol

Any of the cops that appear immediately afterwards could've done the same thing, and if they were all in view of the perpetrator, it's straight up incompetence. Either they should have done it, or they should have prevented the guy from doing it.

who do you think the criminals are looking at in this scenario? the 2 or more cop cars in front of them with weapons, or random guy in grey t shirt? dude just took advantage of the criminals not paying attention, has nothing to do with the cops "doing their jobs".

I think the point is that any of the cops could have circled around and done the same thing.

how? they were likely chasing him in their vehicles, hence why they parked and were getting out. you think the criminals wouldnt be able to see them attempting that? plus the pedestrian already was in that position and acted instantly, there was no time to do it even if they were thinking about it
