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?

You have no idea if any/all those things were/ were not done; nor do you have any idea if such training was/was not provided. . You've simply seen a snippet of a video shared by Shaun King and formed your opinion.

If you used your vast de-escalation skills (whatever those entail) and the subject in question still did not comply with your commands what would you then do?

As to what I would have done: Whatever it takes to ensure the person in question obeys my lawful commands.
