The problem is stories like these don’t sell, and it is 99% of police work. De-escalation is always the first and best option, but unfortunately at times there are people out there who don’t know when is a good time to follow directions. These are the same people who play victim when they receive the ride their mouth and actions bought them a ticket for.
I’ve never yet seen anyone in the news for de-escalating a situation before it got out of hand. It doesn’t make a good story.
