Now read the difference between a "riot shield" (your words) and a
Tactical Ballistic Shield. Aside, these items are not carried in every
police vehicle everyday. They are used in calculated situations.

The police in this incident were not going to a riot. They were
investigating a man that had accosted two neighbors. Got it?

Doubt it.

I get it, but how hard would it be to carry a couple of those shields in
the boot of those large police cars?

About as hard as it would be for a perp to shoot you in the leg or other
body part not covered by the shield. Or to run away. Are you going
to chase after him, run all over, jump fences, carrying a riot shield? Would you volunteer to advance on
a perp that had a gun, refused to take his hands out of his pockets,
using one of those shields? Why should we ask LEO to take grave risks
with unknown perps, reported to have a gun, reported to be accosting
people, acting erratically, etc? Enough cops die already.
