"Did you know that cops receive 'controlled escalation' training? It's training on how much more force than the other party you can use without it being 'excessive'.

"Did you know that de-escalation training for cops is viewed as radically progressive?"

I do know there are people training police to escalate rather than to de-escalate. Such "trainers" have been at large for years.

Terrifying.

This is confusing to me, because I read a book 15 years ago by a policeman about DE-escalation techniques (*Verbal Judo*). It wasn't the best written/edited book, but it was written as "here's standard police practice that can help anyone" ?!?!?
