Those officers made a huge mistake by rushing him like that. Somebody wasn't paying attention in the academy. In my a academy they super stressed keeping a safe distance at all times even if it requires you to retreat. I have no doubt this video will become part of standard training along with the quintessential 21 ft rule videos.
That said, this exactly why everyone should be armed whenever possible. I've learned from personal experience that when your worst case scenario comes it'll usually be when you are at your most unprepared so be as prepared as possible as often as possible. My worst case scenario was a mountain lion not a bad guy with a weapon but same principle. I was not allowed to carry a firearm during bow season due to state law at the time but I foolishly carried my fixed blade hunting knife in my pack instead of on my person.
Fortunately the situation didn't end up requiring hand to paw combat but it could have just as easily gone the other way and I would have been severely injured or killed. Also fortunately, Oklahoma made carrying a handgun legal when bowhunting. First with a carry permit and then with constitutional carry so hopefully folks still there are taking advantage of that ability. Not so much here in GA without a permit
