If you say so.

You also have no idea what was done. But you assume that the officer physically manhandling the other guy must have been okie dokie.

The fact that you don't even understand what those skills are is kind of sad. However to answer you (next) question: At some point you need to enforce the law. That might include physical restraint. I don't think that ever requires an officer of the law choking a citizen up against a wall while lifting him off the ground. Maybe that's just me.

I guess I just don't have a big enough ego to be on a power trip and demand people obey me without trying to calm the situation and not have to choke a citizen. But then I always thought talking was better than fighting and a better way to reach resolution.

So can I go to bed now? Or do you want some tips on de-escalation?
