Peaceful... until the cops show up and get violent with the protestors.
Bingo. Cops excel in escalation.
They’re thoroughly trained in deescalation tactics, then use inverse language to justify self defense and charges.
Honestly that's kinda optimistic compared to reality.
Warrior cop training needs to fucking stop.
Absolutely. The “identify and neutralize threats” approach is a huge problem, but that’s not the strategy they use for escalation. They don’t flex overt authority to incite a reaction. They use manipulative tactics and false representation of the victim’s language or behavior to frustrate and confuse them into overreaction. I’ve been through enough deescalation training to recognize the inverse tactics they frequently use in altercations.
We see the same escalation tactics in some European countries, where Police gets a 2-3 years training plus regular on the job training. They know exactly what and how they are doing it.
this is what always makes me insane. police presence inherently increases tension because oh now here's a gang of jackbooted thugs with guns and tasers and the power to ruin your life and/or murder you and get away with it, just hangin out. just tryna keep people safe.
i mean that shit must only work on the boomeriest boomers, right? that would only help at a particularly rowdy Kenny Chesney concert
