re: Grand Jury Doesn't Indict Cops who kill man with down syndrome

The police appear to be taught that if someone does not do what you instruct them to do then make them do it. I can understand this sort of approach in some ways, especially with the police becoming more and more militarized.

I have done training with cops on how to deal with the mentally ill. The concept of de-escalating a situation is one that is hard for many cops (especially the younger ones) to learn. Every body seems to want to push a person harder to "comply" rather than giving a little time to allow things to settle down.

They are like the goofball tourist that talks louder to someone who doesn't speak English (except it is with force). WHAT I AM SAYING!!
