Was thinking the same thing. I was in court this week and officer was testifying. Attorney had officer step down to show how close she was to the person she arrested. As the attorney got closer he finally got within a range that was too close. Officer immediately in one move backed up and pushed attorney away. This was in court and a non-threat situation.
Officer went on to say they are trained to not let anyone get that close to them. Otherwise...
