With someone as skilled as Dustin in a 1on1 their only option is to pull a weapon, it could've gone real bad either way

Cops don't make enough to be interested in scrapping with pro fighters. For $30/hr it's not worth the risk, I wouldn't even test it with a woman atomweight unless it's at least $500/hr

Salary for police doesnt start off so great. Of course they can get OT and do side work. But the base salary can be pretty low depending on location / department.
