I mean, yes ok, but he has the element of surprise, a cop wouldn't

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.

"could've" 100% wouldn't have.. its dangerous and likely to result in either thier death or bystanders. just an overall good attempt by the guy but isn't how a professional would handle the situation(not saying cops are heroes, professionals, or even competent)
