The last paragraph brings me to something that has been on my mind. I have seen take downs of real life arrests on the television. Not to criticise the police who know that their lives could be on line though.

Why the almost hysterical screams? This of "get down, get down" etc. Could this panic some innocent persons and then they have got shot? Second guessing is easy, but perhaps a loud authoritative command would be better. Spoken in an exceptionally loud voice, but with a deliberate calmness about the delivery.

Just a few thoughts on this matter.

“...but perhaps a loud authoritative command would be better.”
. . . . . . .

I can see it now...

Officer Dick: “I want to be the loud, authoritative voice today.”

Officer Les: “No, no...you were the loud authoritative voice last time. I want to do it this time.”

Officer Poon: “Why do guys always get to do it? Why can’t a woman be the loud, authoritative voice?”

Sgt. Tain: “Officer Poon will be the loud, authoritative voice this time. Last time I let you guys do it, everybody wound up emptying their mags in the innocent victim. I’m still doing paperwork for that little fiasco.

Sgt Tain: “Officer Poon, are you ready? Be sure to use your big boy voice.”

Officer Poon: “Yes, ma’am!”
