yeah i suppose the cops could have closed to within 20 feet across open ground so they could mace,taze or beanbag a guy they thought was armed instead of staying behind cover so as to avoid potentially getting their head blown off by a lowlife.

Beanbag rounds are plenty effective up to 50-60 feet. All the more so when you've got more than one person firing them.
It looks to me like this was a fuck-up due to incompetence and poor training. They wouldn't have sent the dog in if they planned to open fire. Someone was a bit too jumpy and got trigger-happy.
