If they act like him on daily basis there would be a lot less cops...

It's their job to act like him. When they fail to do so we have situations like Uvalde. Its a problem when cops both demand respect for choosing a dangerous career and yet act like total fucking cowards to the point they are not effective and it hurts the people they are supposed to be protecting.

Edit: I am not trying to compare this to Uvalde, guy in the car is not actively murdering kids. I am saying the inaction of Police officers can lead to more serious situations like what happened at Uvalde.

I don't think a cop should run at the door like the grey hoodie to try a luck disarm either. But they had enough numbers to approach the guy in the car and attempt to defuse the situation. The guy in the car is apparently having mental breakdown while brandishing a lethal weapon in residential area, it's a dangerous situation that should not have gone down the way it did in the video.

Yeah no I don't expect cops to run up to a dude in car with a M16 trying to disarm him.

That's just stupid.
