Japan has man catcher poles that allow you to subdue someone without getting near them. They allow you to hold the person until they get tired or you can get the weapon away from them.
Idk why you’re being downvoted, you’re right. However my point still stands for anyone not armed with a weapon with decent range.
The point is that you deal with such a person by bringing more people to the scene and swarming them. Any person that is only armed with a short-ranged melee weapon will be quickly overwhelmed by many people with mace and batons coming at them from several sides. If you have any kind of training, you should be able to maintain sufficient distance that they can’t harm you with e.g. a knife, and from there it’s a game of patience to wear them out or find an opening to grab them and swarm them.
You could have made your point without being obtuse.
When you swarm someone with a knife, you are able to attack them from many sides at once. This means that when they slash around you control distance, and if they try to single out someone, that person backs off while those behind them go in to whack or grab them. To see this in action, either look up videos of how humans pick off a cornered animal, or videos of how police without firearms or tasers in one of many countries (Norway and England come to mind) take down someone with a bladed weapon.
Of course, preferably you’ll be wearing a vest, but given 5-6 people with batons and training, dealing with a single person armed with a short-ranged bladed weapon shouldn’t be an issue where you get injured.
This isn’t radical rocket science. It’s being done regularly all around the world.
First of all, I’ve been involved in this myself, so I’m not talking out of my ass.
Secondly, by far most cases of “London police officer got stabbed” are the result of a police officer being forced into a confrontation without time to back out and request backup. If someone at <5 m range decides to stab you, and you’re unprepared, you’ll get stabbed regardless what you’re armed with.
My argument regards police responding to an armed person, where they have the time and space to control the confrontation.
He wasn’t unarmed.

These should be standard in every police force.
They really should. I’ve never run across this before, but they seem like a great option to have.
Guy in the back is having fun

Do people become stab proof when they swarm someone with a knife?

It’s not as effective as you think it is. Just google London police officer stabbed.

You reviewed all the instances of officers getting stabbed pretty quick, what a coincidence that it confirmed your claim.
And even with your hand waving of officers being stabbed you concede that officers have been stabbed when they follow your special method.
