When the threat is neutralized, leos will administer care to the criminal till the EMT's get there. The general rule is if a suspect is within 21 feet of the leo, that suspect can cross the distance to do harm before the officer can draw and fire from his holster.
Then, by that same logic, if the person or officer ran away they COULD? keep a 22-foot separation from that attacker. Thus, buying time and maybe some back-up to defuse the situation.
