Police don't always have the luxury of "expedited back-up" and officers need to react to situations as they arise.

I almost LOL'd at "expedited back-up." Most people have no idea how, especially in cities like Ferguson, the police presence because of people being spread out or because of a lack of funding isn't near what you'd expect. There's often no such thing as "expedited back-up" and help could be 10-15 minutes or more away.
Maybe "expedited back-up" is a thing up North where cities are more densely populated, but in this part of the world, officers are expected to pretty much be self-sufficient.
