I guess they couldn’t have retrieved the children from the car while the Sargent was off on foot. Or disabled the vehicle instead. They had time enough to deploy other LEO to block the other end of the football field

Hey, you oughta be a detective. Excellent point! The cop himself admits he knew there were kids in the car, and he had time to call for backup and wait for them to surround the field, yet he never once thought about getting these kids he was so worried about out of the car and to safety. Something smells real bad here.

Other deputies soon arrived and formed a perimeter around the back end of the football field in case Loggins was trying to flee, Amormino said. Because it was dark, nobody could see where Loggins was.

The other deputies responded and set up a perimeter around the field in less than five minutes. That is an amazing response time. Of course, it only takes seconds to run across a field so if the Marine was trying to escape, they would have still been too late.
