The worst thing from a policing metaperspective is that instead of having different LEOs/LEAs working independently in some jurisdictions with wide variety of tactics and tools and cultures that have evolved on completely different planes, the modern policing environement and standardization of kit across the board, and procedures have been uniformly applied and slowly eaten away at what made many of the agencies and officers very effective (hyper-specialization vs broad-range) has diminished over time and really eaten away at the core of policing.
A felony stop is a felony stop is a felony stop, and the CHP / LAPD and look how many LEAs will be involved in interjurisdictional pursuits, out of .. Federal jurisdiction, etc. Different uniform, same cop really.
Now it's the same by-the-book to lowest common officer safety denominator and it's it's just "SHIELD!" and "CROSSFIRE!" .. like, completely uniform approach. Doesn't work.
