    Remember the moment in chapter 8 when you walk out to the huge cylindrical area only to turn around and be faced by these intimidating-looking fellas. Over the intercom you are heavily advised to run from these dudes as you are for most encounters with the police but it was stressed here that you cannot beat these dudes.  
     
    Hearing their footsteps behind me, gaining, not letting up was one of the most intense gaming experience I have had in a while and after a few more jumps and vaults I couldn't take the tension so I turned around and spent the next few minutes fighting and dying and fighting, eventually I beat them. This sort of killed the rest of this section for me and I don't think the designers anticipated this from a player because the chase music was still playing, perhaps it bugged out for me. 
     
    Did anyone else do this? I have read the guide on this site and it says you cannot beat these cops which is clearly not true, tssk

    The way you beat any combat, slide-kick punch punch. 

    Run away

    Slide kick, punch, punch.

    Must have taken you quite a while, I know that if I was to get into combat with those guys, I'd use the wall-kick or jump attacks to have any chance of beating them.
