[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Another brilliant example of how to deescalate and how to create space until proper equipment can arrive to take care of the situation in a nonlethal manner:

This was a very powerful video. Thank you for posting. The British officers had clearly been trained in de-escalation techniques and had a plan. They surrounded the man with the machete from a safe a distance and distracted him long enough for protective shields to be brought in--man with machete is swiftly disarmed.. No shots fired, no tasering, no violence perpetrated on what was clearly a disturbed individual having a mental breakdown or drug-induced episode. Wouldn't it be nice if all U.S. LEO were trained in de-escalation techniques and taught to use shields to protect themselves while disarming someone--rather than just using them during riots?  People having a mental health episode or on drugs who are holding something other than a gun that can be used as a weapon (knife, machete, broken bottle, rock, whatever) should not be shot to death, even if they are resisting arrest.[/quote]

Agreed.

But American cops are always afraid that people have a gun on them. [/quote]
