Looks like the department has way more resources than it's capable of using effectively

you know it’s bad when the media can’t even use passive voice to justify police violence

I thought crime was so bad in SF that the SFPD was short on resources and cops? So why are there a dozen+ cops just standing around? Any cop notice 'drop the knife' for the 30th time wasn't working so maybe try a different approach? It's like they were just waiting for the show.
