Question for the cops of POOFA
I'm currently hanging at Mom & Dad's because reasons. Mom likes a bunch of cop shows - BlueBloods, NCIS, Magnum, Five-O, etc. We see the same thing in almost all of them, and she always asks why:
Cops call out to a suspect, either the suspect's name or "Police!", from a significant distance. Suspect goes all Usain Bolt with a massive head start. Is this just a TV thing, or is there training behind it that I am missing?
Thanx.

I want to know why they all pull their guns out for the chase.

There used to be a training regimen back in the day. I believe it was titled, “Feets don’t fail me now!”

Break the rules and you get no bones,

Re: Question for the cops of POOFA
No, we don*t do that. And we don*t engage in prolonged foot pursuits at full speed.
TV cop shows are the worst for foot pursuits, car pursuits, fights and police shootings. And that doesn*t help when actual uses of force are shown on the news.
The other one is there is always a parking spot for the police car to pull into at the call. And also when the cops are about to move in on a bust and like four cars appear out of nowhere, lights and sirens and converge on a group who appear to be caught by surprise.
I try to stay in the car for as long as possible in a foot pursuit
