'It's not practical'. Wow. Who made that call? I'd love to hear what tragic event was unfolding at the same time that required them to move that particular set of equipment and group of police so quickly that they just decided to cut their losses and get it over with.
There was no neighborhood or convenience store in jeopardy there. It was a cliff. I didn't see a lot of pedestrians aimlessly milling about in danger of this guy sprouting wings and coming at them with his sword.

Every decision in life, business, government and everything else is and must be based at least partly on practicality. Its ludicrous to think that dozens of police officers and cars and ambulances and whatever else should stand by indefinitely while a crazy, sword weielding man decides if or when he might surrender at some point hours or days later when he gets too tired to stand anymore. I don't know what your problem with the police is, but obviously you must have gotten arrested or treated badly by them at some point in your life and this prepesterous argument is one of the results.
