NOIAWYWD. 

Personally?  I'd use my training in de-escalation to try and calm down everyone (especially those wound up black people) and see if the situation really needed an officer called before choking a guy and throwing him to the ground for "resisting".

Of course that would have to mean a) such training was offered/required b) such training was learned.

This incident seems to be an upset customer and a manager...the kind of thing that usually can be handled by one side remaining calm and the other leaving.

But, again, I hold police to a higher standard given their ability to take away your property, freedom and life.  Maybe the people training them don't feel that way.  Maybe the ones like the "gentleman" in the video figure brute force and yelling is the best way to calm a situation.

You?
