If they could take the time to arrest the man then they can take the time to walk up to him and talk to him. Its called being civilized... something many cops have forgotten to do.
again <<<As some, including resident Gabriel Martinez, aimed their cellphones at the scene to record it, Rosby drove up in his rented black Mazda. Swain said Rosby stopped in the intersection with music blaring from his windows. Officers told him to turn down the music because they were trying to hear what was happening down the street. Rosby pulled forward, parked and got out with his dog, but left the music still playing loudly.>>>
<<<A neighbor, who asked not to be identified, said the officers asked him to turn the music down, but he refused. Rosby, she said, responded, "It's my (expletive) radio!"
Rosby, 52, denied cursing, saying he was a Christian.
Once police arrested the suspected robber, officers motioned to Rosby and began walking toward him. Swain said they intended to arrest him and told him to put the dog in his car. He complied.>>>

All I know is that apparently police yelled at him from a distance. Could not make out what was said but according to the Lieutenant they were ordering him to turn down his radio.
This isn't supported by your citation
It changes it completely. Since they were not actively dealing with the armed suspect I don't see how that situation can be used as an excuse for their failures.
even with an arrest being made, it's still a chaotic and potentially dangerous environment, where the police are not fully within control.
Despite your claims from other day, they were only a few yards away from the car.
You mean where I point out they are not in the immediate area of the car? They aren't. This is why the dog has to jump out the window and run towards them
