I do think police need to be better trained in conflict resolution. Seems like in a lot of these situations you see police just going right to force, without trying to talk through a situation. Probably going to get reamed by some here for that comment, but again, just one middle aged white guy with an opinion and occasional compassion.
I don't disagree with you.
I was a bouncer for about 3.5 years and never got into a fight.
I placed myself physically between the people and then verbally explained the ramifications of their potential actions.
95% of the time they came to their senses, calmed down, thanked me the next week, and had my back every weekend after that.
So yeah, training in conflict resolution is never a bad thing.
