Tell a friend:
















Ah.... but they SHOULD. It's been shown that police that are trained in communication, negotiation and crisis management skills have a much lower injury rate among police AND suspects. Talking is always better than shooting... whether it's a gun or taser. By treating suspects in an abusive, rude, threatening manner, the situation is more likely to escalate to violence.
It had been going on for 15 minutes when my friend showed up.
He had the officers back off, walked up to the man and, after a few minutes of conversation he threw the knife away and sat down.
When my friend asked him why he hadn't cooperated before he said... "Because they were yelling at me and I was scared. You asked nice."
honestly, that is REALLY unrelated >_>
