Insufficient force -> suspect thinks he has a fighting chance -> firefight, usually with a suspect who couldn't shoot himself in the foot without emptying an entire clip -> even more innocents killed. There was a thread on FR a while ago about British cops getting killed left and right because they couldn't match the force that the people they were arresting were using.
