There’s a fair number of videos from eg the UK where they do exactly this. The usual playbook seems to be: get a few people distracting the guy from the front, and another few rush them from the back whilst distracted and hit them with batons or just jump on them.

Or just distract them for a long while and wait for more backup and people with shields.

It takes a bit of effort and coordination but is obviously massively preferable to being executed on the spot by the state.

Having 10 officers beat an individual with clubs doesn’t exactly seem good either…
