It most certainly does matter. It exasperates the situation and makes it far more tense. Not only that, it makes the person unpredictable which also makes the situation more tense. Cops are still human beings and subject to every emotion you and I are, fear, stress, etc...This is why they need more training in de-escalation, mental health, non lethal force, etc...To say what the victim did doesn't matter is completely excusing their behavior. Are you really advocating just letting people committing crimes go about their business because the situation may escalate?
