That depends.

Law enforcement are trained to not only "work in the moment". You better hope and pray the majority of law enforcement officers are not trained to do WHATEVER they think works in the moment. We do not want a system in which law enforcement are only trained to give an afterthought rather than a before-and-during thought. That is how forms of profiling and police brutality occur.
