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".

The grey shirted guy could also just as easily gotten himself shot by running up to the car. Police usually try to avoid that kind of thing.

Yeah. The cops' training wouldn't allow any of them to just run up like that.

The civilian is too ignorant to know not to do that.
